We didn't have projects at that time, but we do now and we've had them 
for quite some time, actually. I don't see why all the distros can't 
have their own project spaces on opensolaris.org. And I agree with Roy's 
idea that they should all live under a distro community group. 
Currently, the Advocacy CG sponsors the BeleniX mailing list on 
opensolaris.org.org, which we are happy to do, but shouldn't that list 
also have a project space and shouldn't that project live under a CG 
dedicated to distros such as yours?
