First of all, you're talking about a prototype and nothing more. Such
an artifact is similar to the BFU archives available from many projects
on opensolaris.org and the ISO represents the (initial) output of a
project.
Great to hear some progress is being made. I just saw an email where
it appears an OpenSolaris bug id was created. I still don't know what
happened to my initial bug report, but oh well.
Was JIRA considered as an option? I used that at Apache Derby, it was
quite nice. I guess it may not be an

And it's pretty useful! I'm on an Ultra 40 m2. When you've got an xdm

you have to log in graphically. It's too easy to forget to set your session to
