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. > If all the .org content is moving to the .com site, what will be left on > the .org site?

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. > What happens to the nearly 100,000 registered users on the .org site? Exactly what happens to them currently? Nothing. We ideally used a shared user database. > Who will be responsible for providing the infrastructure for the .com site? 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. > Who will be responsible for deciding what content goes on the .com site? 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.
