More changes, and I expect more will be coming. This *may not* be as bad
as it sound.

1) Open Wonderland takes over for the wonderland project.

http://www.openwonderland.org/
Open Wonderland is a 100% Java open source toolkit for creating
collaborative 3D virtual worlds. This doesn't sound likes Oracle's bread
and butter.

I would be nice to know what packages Oracle is pulling from
OpenSolaris. I wonder if Oracle is just trying to differentiate Solaris
from OpenSolaris (i.e.  Redhat Enterprise Linux vs. Fedora / Suse vs
OpenSuse). We will have to wait and see. I expect the 2010.03 release
will bring some changes.

Paul
