This is cool, guys!

The advantage of an os.o project would be access to svn and dlc.sun.com
areas.  Of course you can always link back to sourceforge.net from
the desktop community pages, but why not make it an official
opensolaris.org project?

If someone at Sun (/me is looking at Moinak ;) can take care of the
legal paperwork, I can provide regular builds at dlc.sun.com.
