[cab-discuss] CAB/OGB website content needs to be updated

[John Plocher]

It is amazingly difficult to find up to date info about the current state
of the OGB and its governance on the OpenSolaris homepage.

The page for Governance/CAB doesn't /appear/ to have been updated in a year
(the last weekly minutes/notes on meetings are from before the launch in 2005,
the wording on the page is all about the old CAB and not the OGB, the
left navbar has nothing more recent on it than the 1st CAB meeting...)

If you get past this feeling that you are on a stale page and click on
the OpenSolaris Constitution link, you find links to drafts, with no
context, timelines or commentary - nothing to indicate what is happening.

How would a random OpenSolaris community member find out that elections
are being planned for sometime in the next month and that nominations
are being accepted for a new OGB?  Where would they find the minutes from
past OGB/CAB meetings?  What about formal votes/position papers and the
like?

It is not just /Sun/ that seems to prefer to do things in the dark :-)
