I also agree that guidelines would be great to have.

And this is the thing that most frustrates me. We have people trying to do a better job at making the content on opensolaris.org a little bit more fresh and relevant. We should support them, because they are the ones willing to do the work. For the desktop community I've actively advocated that anyone even vaguely interested in updating pages gets to be added as a leader. If that support ends up being a mistake, then it's pretty much zero cost to correct them. Stop treating opensolaris.org as the crown jewels - it isn't, and I bet people barely look at it because of the stale content it has. Amusingly, one of the blog posts on the current home page is this - http://napobo3.blogspot.com/2008/03/is-no-news-good-news.html Quite frankly, I'm losing the will to care.
