The OpenSolaris project is similar to the Fedora project. See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/
The primary reason for the existence of the opensolaris project is to coordinate the distributed development of Solaris. (The open source version of solaris is called opensolaris). User input is a valued part of this process. Traditionally this input has been buffered from the product management team by many layers of Sun bureaucracy. Now, it is relatively straightforward to talk to the developers. If you find the right community, you can get your questions answered. Generally if you post something in the wrong forum someone will point you to a correct forum. However, at least for me, it involved a learning curve, especially if you are coming from the Solaris perspective, vs the Linux side. I am still learning how the processes work, which isn't really helped by the fact that OpenSolaris is a relatively new project and the processes seem to be in constant flux. -Brian P.S. - Feel free to contact me offline, and let me know what resources you are looking for. I have been working with Solaris, as a user, for over 15 years. On 5/1/07, W. Wayne Liauh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

No wonders non-developer-users like many of us are treated like secondary citizens (or actually like dirt). And no wonder even member(s) of the "Grandeur Barons" will not hesitate in getting into open sparring with participants (of this forum). Strange in an open-source world, but perhaps I should not have been surprised. No users, & no developers outside of Sun, as far as I can tell, will also be interested. Unless Sun is only interested in turning its customers into (voluntary or involuntary) developers? I guess the answer is, ostensibly, yes. I want to be clear that this is the official attitude. If so, then many of us shall not be wasting any of our time here. And you can be assured that we will have nothing to do with Sun.
