So tell me, where do I sign up to be considered for a job such as opensolaris.org site maintenance? I'm a OpenSolaris community (not SUNW) member and I want to be involved.


Which bits of the site are you interested in helping with? As I said in an earlier post, we (the http://opensolaris.org team) spent last week drawing up a list of stuff we need to do, and there's plenty to go around :-). Much of the software used to run the site is written in Java, so there's a significant amount of Java work to be done.


Also ... we're going to need a *lot* of help translating content on the site, too, as we start rolling out country portals. For OpenSolaris to engage with non-English speaking developers around the world, the entire site will have to be translated into at least a dozen languages. More info on this on the i18n list soon, but that would be an utterly *massive* contribution to the community building effort and it requires no infrastructure, no SCM, no development process, no governance, no nothing. Just knowledge of English and whatever other language. Don't get me wrong, some tools would be nice, but they are not a requirement. Better website tool will come, but for now content translations are critical.
