Applications
- Databases - This community is a gathering place for both database users and engineers building databases on Solaris. Any discussions relevant to databases on Solaris are welcome here. Some potential discussion topics: how to improve Solaris to better serve database technologies; how to make databases run best on Solaris; differences between various database technologies and which one is best suited for a given use; and so on.
- Games on OpenSolaris - The OpenSolaris games community serves to list games that can be played on OpenSolaris, to provide instructions for downloading and running them, and to host new games that OpenSolaris contributors have written.
- HA Clusters - A community for exploring high-availability cluster innovations, research, and implementations, including the Open High Availability Cluster project. This community focuses on clusters for high-availability, as opposed to HPC clusters, grids, or other cluster technologies.

Distribution
- GNU Solaris - A community about GNU Solaris
[edit]
Documentation
- Documentation, including the feature documentation collections, man pages, and guides.

Networking
[edit]
Observability
Tools and facilities for observing software and hardware behavior on OpenSolaris.- DTrace - DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework for the Solaris Operating Environment.
[edit]
Storage
- A community for storage in OpenSolaris. We are interested in hardware, filesystems, and protocols for remote access of the storage.
- NFS - Network File System as implemented in OpenSolaris
- Solaris Volume Manager - An enterprise class logical volume manager. The goal of this community is to discuss its features and collaborate on future enhancements.
- Unix File Systems (UFS) - General Discussion about the Unix File System(UFS), the generic file system layer and file system utilities technologies
- ZFS - ZFS is a new kind of filesystem that provides simple administration, transactional semantics, end-to-end data integrity, and immense scalability.
[edit]
Tools
The Tools community covers compilers, source code management, and tools used in software construction in OpenSolaris generally.- Modular Debugger (MDB) - Solaris Modular Debugger (MDB) is a debugger designed to facilitate analysis of certain problems.
- Architecture Process and Tools - System Architecture Process and Tools
[edit]
Virtualization
- BrandZ - BrandZ (Branded Zones) extends the Solaris Zones infrastructure to enable the creation of non-native zones on a Solaris system, including Linux Zones.
- Xen - The Xen community is intended to focus specifically on the OpenSolaris side of the OpenSolaris on Xen project.
- Zones - Zones provide a means of creating virtualized operating system environments within an instance of Solaris, allowing one or more processes to run in isolation from other activity on the system.
[edit]
Should Desktop and Laptop be separate?
- Desktop - The OpenSolaris Desktop Community
- Laptop - Using Solaris as your ultimate mobile computing platform.
[edit]
Why aren't there separate Sparc, x86 communities as well? Or why is there a seperate PowerPC communbity. It sounds more like a project. Read the desciption.
- PowerPC - The goal of this community is to create an OpenSolaris port that runs on PowerPC hardware.
[edit]
Does these communities make sense?
- Device Drivers - The Device Drivers will promote and support the creation of additional device drivers for OpenSolaris.
[edit]
