On www.opensolaris.org there are two links full of very usable documentation. One is named Documentation and second one New Documentation (wiki). Both are very good visible.
www.opensolaris.com is different story. I can't find similar links right now with some quick overlook. But I feel that this page is something like advertisement or marketing page for managers and similar people. I think that at least from point of documentation it needs a lot of improvements from Sun side. All of this is deeply connected with this - "Don't get me wrong, newbies are people too, and any community needs 'em to keep it going." Yes and "..make OS for newbies and only newbies will want to use it......" is true too. I'm using mainly OpenBSD and this system is here for more then 13 years without need to "hunt" for newbies. In fact newbies are discouraged from use of this system. And this lead to more clean, stable and bug free OS then any other on the market ( confirmed by Sun ;-D http://research.sun.com/projects/downunder/publications/documents/kca09.pdf ). Newbie and user is different term. Every OS need its users. MS tried offer OS for newbies and now try hard to switch it back on correct way with UAC, PowerShell and similar stuff. So why to have admins (experts, developers,...) in IT or in any other area? Just because I'm newbie NASA must provide easy "construction set" to build Space shuttle? Or Just because I'm newbie Ferrari will offer me some How-To for building Ferrari for newbies? I don't think so. OS is very complex system and if you are newbie then pay someone for its installation or administration. You don't want it? Then learn it or don't use it. It's very easy. Technical world is full of very complicated things and no one can learn them all. That's why I pay eg. for travel with airplane. Or just because I'm newbie in flying then companies which build airplanes must provide some factory with How-To for me to build and use my own airplane? I hope that my point is clear. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
