Hi ...

Oh, Jive is way beyond being unstable at this point. :)

We are going to replace it after Phase 2 of the website transition. 
Until then OSUGs are free to propose new groups and we can offer project 
spaces and mailing lists on the site (pending community voting and 
website/list usage policies, of course). Now, if OSUGs really want a web 
forum to communicate, that's fine. They can use Google or Yahoo or 
Facebook or whatever, and we are happy to link to that forum from 
Advocacy. Also, there is nothing preventing OSUGs from having a project 
space on opensolaris.org and a forum off of opensolaris.org. There are 
many combinations we can deal with.

The vast majority of Communities, Projects, and User Groups on 
opensolaris.org use mailing lists to communicate now -- there are 376 
lists and only 115 Jive forums.
