Your frustration is more than legitimate considering your dedication.

Regarding your work on Intel KMS it is indeed important to get more people
to provide testing and feedback.
Maybe Nikola at least will be able to do so but it would be nice to expand
the circle ;)

When I have the time I will upload kernel dumps and logs I collected and
post a message to the ML to keep you updated.

Thanks !
Best regards,

Aurelien

It'd also help if someone could provide a writeup on this work, and also
what it means for Open Indiana in particular and Illumos in general. Media
like Phoronix and such could then pick it up.

This good work needs some public relations style posting rather than just
Martin's posts with the scant few replies.

In fact, I volunteer for making this happen. I'll send a separate post on
this.

You are totally right.
With the newly updated website (though not perfect), the intent was to
provide more information on the current status and highlight the need of
contributions in specific areas (testing, packaging): this is slowly moving
forward.
Alexander's, Ken's and Martin's progresses are not as visible as they
should be.

There are several levels of information:
- users should get updates on the news pages:
http://www.openindiana.org/category/news/
- contributors should be able to understand where help is needed on the
roadmap page: http://www.openindiana.org/overview/roadmap/
- developers use the wiki to track their progress:
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Hipster

So the website's purpose shoud be two-fold:
- give general information for users
- provide entry points to the wiki for contributors/developers

As long as people have to dig several hours to find information I do not
think we will be getting any feedback.

Although this is not enough, I added:
- an "Intel KMS driver" page to the wiki:
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Intel+KMS+driver
- a bullet point to the roadmap:
http://www.openindiana.org/overview/roadmap/
