The driver author did not mind if his collection was imported into illumos, and that might be a nice starter project - even if more about packaging than programming.

I found this site http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ which I think is
what you mean. To repackage for OpenIndiana do you mean creating an IPS package?
I'm not familiar with how Illumos uses drivers, I'm more familiar with the Linux
way of driver development.

Also for creating IPS packages is this document the one that you guys follow:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/o11-097-create-pkg-ips-524496.html

Who would take care of the publishing afterwards? I would like to package the
cloc Perl script and make it available to install using the OpenIndiana IPS
repos.
