Bad form replying to my own message, but this time it's as me with an observability hat rather than an OGB hat:

It's one of the strengths of (Open)Solaris, and there is active work in this area - we just aren't organized as a community, but I think we ought to aim for option B. I've tried a couple of times in the past to get enough Core Contributors together to legitimize our community status, and am willing to be one myself. I'm looking, therefore, for volunteers/suggestions. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
