www.solarisinternals.com has always been a community. It never was hosted by Sun, and it's not hosted by Oracle. True, many of the contributors were Sun employees, but not so many remain at Oracle. If it's out if date, I suspect that's because the original contributors are too busy doing other fun things. However, it is a wiki, so YOU can apply for a login and edit it if you have something useful to share :)
