Hi Chris,

It actually is on the last one, but not the other two.
The last one is the all-inclusive list of opensolaris.org
discussions (which uses the GNU Mailman mailing list system).
Some of these are bridged (mirrored) to/from a corresponding
Jive forum: (http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/index.jspa)

But some aren't. The reason for this is explained, e.g., here:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/website-discuss/2007-August/003779.html

So in order to be comprehensive, a while back, we did away with
a link called "Discussions" on the top-level left sidebar.
Instead there is a link called "Jive Forums", and above that a
link called "Mail Lists". The latter is all-inclusive the former
is a subset.

Going forward, the idea is to phase out Jive eventually and
provide a modern GUI interface to the mailing-lists. In other
words, architecturally, we expect it to be literally or
virtually an extension to Mailman, so every list intrinsically
has a "forum".

Eric
