Two things _kill_ me about the main page:
the blinking text in the middle of the page.
the link labeled "here" that is broken next to it.
and one thing that would be nice IMHO:
somehow making a distinction between the "Ads by Google" content and
everything else. Maybe put it into a lighter background?
I know they are small and nagging but someone has to nag a little.

Can we introduce a meta-package for global/non-global zones? My idea is
that at some point we have to worry about installing packages in
non-global zones that only belong to a global zone (crossbow bits for
eg) or vice-versa. I'm not sure of how we would want to enforce this but
it just seems like something we should think about earlier rather than
later. Maybe we can make a package like nexenta-lug/nexenta-lung
"provide" nexenta-lu?
Another potential usage point is apt in zones with shared/imported
filesystems. The Solaris package manager "knows" about this and attempts
to work around it. We might have a different version of an apt-related
package specially for non-global zones in this scenario.

A web-archive of mailing lists is good enough for me as long as it does
not publish email addresses for bots to pickup. Personally, I like the
idea of a blog more than a forum. I looked quickly through the
repository and noticed some other nit picky things:
http://www.nexenta.org/apt/dists/
has an extraneous directory "nstable"
http://www.nexenta.org/apt/dists/elatte-unstable/main/binary-solaris-i386/Packages
(and other packages locations)
has a lot of references to (username)@gnusolaris.org and not one
reference to nexenta.org. I'm guessing this will change this over time
as packages are recompiled but it's something to script about.
http://www.nexenta.org/apt/incoming/input.conf
has a reference to nexenta.com ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), is Nexenta
a company?
