bugs.opensolaris.org provides a front end to Sun's internal bug 
database,which most teams still use as it's where they have 20+ years of 
bug data and where bugs from Solaris 10 and earlier customers are filed 
by support.
Unfortunately, it's also read-only to outside users, who only see a 
limited subset of bug data.   (You can submit a new bug to it, but not 
update an existing bug.)

defect.opensolaris.org was set up to see if we could use a more 
community friendly bug tracker, and it's been adopted by some 
development teams with no bug history to worry about (IPS, the new 
installer, etc.) and some which are more used to bugzilla from their 
upstream work (GNOME, Mozilla, etc.).
It's fully outside the Sun firewall and community members have the exact
same access levels as Sun employees.
