I'm having a bit of struggle figuring out what we want to do with the
content there.  Is our goal to help people admin their OpenSolaris
box?  Or is it perhaps a place to help keep sysadmins up to date on
development/decisions that others are leading that have potential to
help or hurt us?  Neither?  Both?

By nature, everything that a sysadmin cares about has overlap with
what nearly every other community has done or is doing.  Is the value
of this community perhaps in providing a way to show how the bits fit
together in a manageable way?  I have the easiest time convincing
myself that this is where the value of this community is and projects
like the Use Case Project strike pretty close to where we can offer
value.  The main place where the Use Case Project misses the mark is
that it aims to give feedback to development for things that are
needed.  Sysadmins tend to need to focus on implementing those things
that already work (with a bit of duct tape).

Thoughts?
