Presented in a very different form. For example, most of the current project 
sites focus on the technology from an engineering perspective, rather than the 
benefits from an end user perspective.

The opportunity we have is to keep one project on opensolaris.org, focus on the 
technical merits of it, and how one may contribute to the project, and there 
could be a mirror link on opensolaris.org, talking about the merits of how much 
easier it makes your day to day life running it.

The .org site would still be responsible for hosting various projects, 
technical 
discussion lists, and source code gates (including the associated governance). 
Nothing changes there. Everything else moves over to .com.

Exactly what happens to them currently? Nothing. We ideally used a shared user 
database.

I don't know, but Sun have a vested interest in seeing it happen, so I imagine 
it would be a funded project to create it.

That's entirely what this discussion is for, so that we can find out what the 
interest level is like, and whether it's likely to fly as a proposal. Hopefully 
those with an interest in providing a more focused user set of content will 
step 
up to the plate and contribute.
