Genunix.Org is a community run/community driven website and is independent of Sun or Oracle. As such we enjoy a very harmonious relationship with Sun/Oracle and are happy to co-operate with them or with anyone else trying to help the OpenSolaris project continue to be successful. Also Sun contributed generously by providing some nice hardware and disk resources to Genunix.Org (along with hardware contributed by Logical Approach) and I'm hoping that this support will continue, going forward, with Oracle. In fact, its fair to say that I've always gotten everything I asked for from Sun - they have been truely supportive of Genunix.Org. Today the opensolaris.org site and genunix.org sites provide two different, but complementary resources to the OpenSolaris user community and I certainly try to avoid any overlap where it does not make sense[1]. Most users also notice that many links on genunix.org reference opensolaris.organd vice versa. This is as it should be IMHO - different but complimentary. The current issues with the opensolaris.org site are temporary ... I'm sure it's only a question of time before they get resolved. They have my personal sympathy - I know what its like to have performance related issues and even downtime. I feel their pain - and most folks at Oracle know if we can help - they have but to ask. One other point I'll mention related to website performance. Google has said that their search engine results will be biased in favor of higher performing (aka fast) sites going forward[2]. To prepare for this I've already done a couple of rounds of optimization on the main page for genunix.org and shared my experiences with the Belenix.Org folks - who also run on Genunix.Org hardware. Be patient Martin - I'm sure the folks at Oracle will get their issues sorted out .... [1] for example, I was asked to put an announcement of a project on Genunix.Org - but there were no associated (large) files. I declined to do this pointing out that the announce list on opensolaris.org satisfies that need and that, today, people come to genunix.org to download (usually large) recently released binaries with decent download performance - they don't come to read announcements. [2] This is to be expected as google is obsessed with speed!
