Install blurs the line between OpenSolaris.org the code community and
OpenSolaris.com the distro community - are we moving away from that
distinction?   (Will other distros complain that "Install" is only
the Sun distro and not Belenix, Milax, etc. that are pointed to
from the current large Download icon or the new feature spot?)

Are the Contribute a Package instructions ready for such prominent
exposure?  That page has more questions than answers, (and the answers
it has are confusing in steps - you don't build a webrev, and I don't
think pkg.opensolaris.org/myusername works at all) and only really
tells them how to host packages if they have a dedicated repository
server set up somewhere, not how to contribute to the pkg.opensolaris.org
repository, which isn't accepting direct contributions yet.

Report a Bug just dumps you on the bugzilla front page, which as someone
pointed out last week, is really a horrible place to start, leaving you
with no clue how to report bugs - the page Dave Miner made for the 2008.11
release candidates would be a much better place to link to:
