And I don't think it would be as much about control, as about making relevant to 
the target audience. I'd happily love a bunch of interested community members 
(either users or existing opensolaris.org contributors) to want to write 
featured articles to promote a specific part of the OS. The key term is 
'relevance', and I don't believe that opensolaris.org serves that purpose to the 
end user right now.

As another example, here's another mockup that Steve did a while ago -

similar to opensuse.org
