Hello.
The project is still alive. Perhaps, it's not evident, looking at our 
site, but it is.
If someone wants to update it, he is welcome.
There are sufficient problems, as OI developer is a more and more 
extinct kind of beast.
If you want just basic storage (i.e., fresh base and ~ Solaris 11 level 
of userland software
(I mean, a bit outdated)), you can look at OI Hipster. We are trying to 
deliver at least most
urgent security fixes. On other hand, illumos-gate provided packages is 
rebuilt every day,
which may be not so convenient in server environment - pkg update will 
always want to update all
base packages. You can try to stick to Hipster snapshots. We are going 
to prepare them
once per several months. The current one is cooking now.
