Paul, What community members choose to do with their own websites is outside of the control of members of opensolaris.org. Anyone can setup and run another website with logins, etc. if they choose to. I think it's a waste of time to try to focus energy on discouraging others from running their own websites. While I understand your intentions are good (efficiency, etc.), I don't they're merited. Let's focus on growing the community in whatever way it wants to grow -- as long as it's a positive one.
