And I'll be the first from the engineering team to say that does indeed
suck heavily - apologies. 

We're definitely going to be better at this in the future, especially as
we start creating a desktop community around JDS. I'm just cutting
through some amount of red tape at the moment, but hopefully we'll see
some desktop action on opensolaris.org *real soon*.

In the meantime, if you can comment on potential things that a desktop
community should be doing, please do - I have a few ideas myself, but
I'm just wondering if they're off base compared to the expectations that
people have.
