If we would want to involve Companies:
Desktop Products that use our Strengths in the Server field?
Zone Based VDI for example. A Fast to boot low profile vdi that could run on 
laptop or even phone hardware(given x86 architecture). Mixed in with a little 
bit of live migration and X11 remoting magic and you have a nice little 
product that a company could sell. 

Other than that:
Cooperation with a Desktop Project?
KDE has stated interest, but the have no idea how to approach a port to 
solaris based systems. Their biggest effort for a solaris port was one guy.
He did get KDE4 running on S10.
Enlightenment seems to have shown interest aswell.

Defragmentation of used Package formats?
We not only have a different Package Manager for every Distro, we also have a 
different kind of Build description format per distro, or per community multi 
distro project.

A Merge of opencsw, SFE, openpkg and all the other multi distro packaging 
projects?

Pre packaged buildzone images(like smartos) or buildzone construction script ?

A how to build a buildzone guide without different options to choose?
As a Solaris Newbie i got very confused with that guide.

A unified buildserver for multiple distros(like OBS)?
