There are a few things missing. The pieces that are currently missing we
classify as 'platform'. Right now Honeycomb is based on Solaris10 and we
can't redistribute those images. We also have an overlay for the
switches which we are working on providing. Also we would like to
redistribute the HADB packages. For the overlay and HADB it will likely
just be the binary pieces. We are working on converting over to
Nevada/OpenSolaris and when that is complete we will be able to build
install images etc.

However, the important thing to note is that all of our special sauce is
in the open. The RAIN architecture, multicell, etc are all there. You
will be able to build the honeycomb packages and also build the open
edition (a stand alone pure java implementation of the Honeycomb
protocol). If you own a ST5800 device there is enough out there now that
in combination with this source you will be able to develop and push
your own custom bits to a cluster.

We've also just set up a developer alias: hc-dev at opensolaris dot org
