The wiki isn't updated for quite some time. The former documentation
team started efforts to create new documentation located under
docs.openindiana.org.
Part of their work was to move/recreate wiki contents. Alas the old team
vanished a few years ago (for me it happened like overnight).
We had a few volunteers popping up in the mailing list and some work has
been started to update the tool chain. I haven't seen much new contents,
though.
So, I would appreciate if more people get involved into updating and
enhancing the documentation.

Regards,
Andreas
