I have enough time on my hands to do planet moderation, if that came to be.
As found out by someone else, https://www.illumos.org/blog/ is now 
mostly a home to illumos watch, which I put together in my spare time.

On the topic of re-using old OpenSolaris docs, I wouldn't mind, for one, 
to build on ZFS Administrator Guide. While differences are many, most of 
text would still be useful. Writing such a guide from start is a tedious 
task. I know, having started http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/ZFS some 
time ago.

Also OpenSolaris resource management and containers guide is probably a 
perfect starting point to build a more recent docs. Zones and resource 
management are one of prime time features of illumos, IMHO.
