It would also be nice to see a split between home-usage and (partial)
professional usage.
What do you mean by "split"? We are aimed to support both server and
desktop
installations.
If you want server-focused distribution, you can look at DilOS (uses
apt-get/dpkg) or
OmniOS (uses IPS).
For the way I use OpenIndiana I don't need a GUI, nor firefox nor
codecs or movie players.
I just need a good, stable and secure platform with zones and ZFS.
And capable of being patchable to the latest available secure versions
of BASH, SSH, SSL, JAVA and other common Unix OS belongings.
If you need just zones/ssh/bash/ssl/zfs, Hipster can suite you. At least
we
rarely break these components :) However, we are more sensitive to
illumos-gate
changes. Hipster uses upstream illumos-gate. It has its own benefits
(new fixes are
almost immediately available here) and drawbacks (for example, we expect
removing of
Sun DHCP server from illumos-gate soon, and our users will suffer from
it when it happens).
As for Java - we can't redistribute latest Oracle Java versions.
However, older one is available. Also Hipster ships OpenJDK 1.7.
Who is now managing the code?
Is there a way to organise a roadmap?
What if some students are put on the project?
If we speak about /dev, it is supported by Jon Tibble.
As for /hipster, it is currently supported by Adam Stevko, Andrzjei
Szeszo, Ken Mays and me.
You can find TODO list for OI /hipster here:
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/TODO+list
As for students - we always welcome new developers.
If they need some advice, they can ask their questions at oi-dev ML
or in #oi-dev freenode.net IRC channel.
