What do you mean by Christian references? Also, are there Muslim references?

It is a matter of interpretation. Some years ago I was getting many messages
in the solaris-x86 mailing list and now I get one every six months... This 

is an indication that people are not using Solaris anymore. Going further
I would say that Oracle is not making money from Solaris, or at least the
money they were expecting. If Oracle is not making money from Solaris, they 

will shut it down or they will denote it, just like they did with OpenOffice. 

Of course, Apache Open Office is a total failure but this is another story.

Yes but this means that all people who want to contribute should be
welcome...
