Sorry, the OIAC project is still in drafting state.

If you want to contribute a package right now you could try
integrating it into the spec-files-extra project (in fact some OI
community members have already done that). We will soon provide
an unsupported IPS repo with a selection of packages from the
spec-files-extra project and once our own OI Addon Consolidations
project takes off we will import packages from there as well.

Some information about SFE can be found at
http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/spec-files-extra/
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pkgbuild/index.php?title=SFE
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pkgbuild/index.php?title=Pkgbuild_on_OpenSolaris

If you're interested I might be able to help a bit and you can get
assistance in #pkgbuild or #oi-dev on irc.freenode.org as well.
