Good point.  If there is no intent to keep the materials current (& at least try to make an appearance that we care), why bother to show it and embarrass us all?

Perhaps we can try to find some way to at least link the space that is currently used by OpenSolaris News to Sun's blogs that carry the OpenSolaris tag.  This is what many of us are doing any way.  Streamlined and saves time.
