Probably Alasdair can help with the first step. He did some work so we
have to ask about details and what plans he had about OI.
So it will be easier to continue his work.

Hello
So, all you OpenIndiana developers, whom I admire, what comes next? :)
I've seen few people declaring they would like to help, I think
packaging was mostly mentioned.
Please, let me ask few questions.
1. Is this link still valid? http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/IPS+Knowledge
2. What would those people need to do, so start maintaining a package?
Is there a process,
like in Debian, a person has to go through before they are given
package maintaining duty?
3. Is the development sof OI till going at all?
4. What you, OI developers, would want from this distribution? What
your priorities are?
I'd like to reiterate what I've said many times in the past, when
OpenSolaris was still a live distribution.
If illumos wants to become widespread, it needs desktop distribution,
a usable one, so that people can use it,
play with it and learn it. This is how Linux crept into datacenters,
because people like me installed it as their
hobby desktop, to look at X, to look at FVWM, to use pine and share
modem connection at home. And then,
it was natural to start exim and apache on it. And then people like me
became admins, CIOs and CTOs and
started to use what they knew and liked. And I'd love illumos to
become the system people can install as their
hobby desktop.
Thank you.
