[OpenIndiana-discuss] Future of OI

[alka]

i would be happy, if OI can be a success story

but
- who leads the development? 
- which major enterprise/ organisation stays behind?

the current answer is: none

If you look at http://echelog.com/logs/browse/oi-dev/
there is no discuss

If you check last developer meetings at wiki.openindiana.org
last was last year ( at the moment  openindiana.org is offline at all)

If you look at comments from Illumos: no future for a general use OS like OI
http://gdamore.blogspot.de/2012/08/response-to-alasdairs-resignation.html

I hope, you may be right. 
While SmartOS and OmniOS can replace OI on servers, they are not as 
widespreaded or known at all.
