I know I am unlikely to sway anyone, but please allow me to offer my 
perspective as a brand new OpenIndiana user (but have already been contributing 
to illumos-gate for the past year) as I think it is very important for any 
project to get “first impressions” from people as first impressions are what 
make or break any project.

So, with that in mind: 

The outdated wiki [content], including outdated comments, is a detraction and 
reflects poorly on the project. To be fair, this applies equally to the smartos 
wiki as well. I almost did not use OpenIndiana at all, but decided to give it a 
try anyway. Luckily, the project itself is far more professional than the 
impression given the wiki.  The help offered generously on the mailing lists 
and IRC has been wonderful and reflects very well on the community.

Hope that is helpful. I have been given access to the wiki and will try to 
clean things up as I see them, but there is a significant amount of duplication 
across the OI wiki and the illumos wiki which magnifies the effort required ...

With kind regards
James Blachly
