As I have stated before: We need more people helping with OI Hipster. We
lack contributions in almost every area:
creating/updating packages, testing and documentation. Things don't
happen magically. Efforts and engagement by volunteers is needed.
The companies involved in illumos seem only be interested in its server
use. So, the complex part of creating a desktop is up to the community...
