I appreciate that people are thinking about the future of OpenIndiana.
However, I believe that there are other priorities than renaming the
project.  Don't underestimate the effort:  Securing new domains,
changing the documentation, settting up new internet presences, etc.

There's nothing really wrong with "OpenIndiana powered by illumos".

Let's focus on finding people to contribute.  Having some funds to give
to individuals working on a specific task would be great, and I have
some thoughts about that.  But having more committed dev is paramount.
