9: OpenSolaris projects are collaborative efforts to examine and resolve problems in various areas of interest. For instance, many projects will produce ~-~- via collaboration ~-~- code changes, documents, and images. (Projects have access to version control features to enable structured cooperation on such objects.)
10: 
11: All projects are sponsored by at least one community group, and community group sponsorship is a requirement for new projects. If you’re interested in creating a project to address some community problem, find the community group or groups most relevant to the problem, and make an initial proposal on that group’s discussion list. The Core Contributors in that Group will assist you with fleshing out your Project proposal. The [[process for requesting a new project>>http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Community+Group+ogb/policies/project-instantiation.txt]] contains the full details. And the [[Collective Life Cycle Instructions>>Community Group web.infrastructure-setup]] document explains the implementation details.

This project does not require AD to support RFC2307bis schema. o ID mapping facility to map Windows Security Identifiers (SIDs) to POSIX Identifiers (UIDs/GIDs) and vice-versa.
427: * [[Wireless USB Support>>Project wusb.WebHome]]
428: This project will deliver a framework (including a security sub-framework), some device drivers and a config tool to support wireless USB on opensolaris.
429: * [[Wireless Wide Area Network>>Project wwan.WebHome]]
430: A project to develop drivers and applications to support 3G+ (EVDO, UMTS) wireless WAN in Solaris.
431: * [[X Consolidation>>Project x-cons.WebHome]]
432: The purpose of this project is to migrate the X Consolidation gate for OpenSolaris to opensolaris.org hosting, and then to serve as the ongoing home of that gate.
433: * [[Xen Gate>>Project xen-gate.WebHome]]
434: This OpenSolaris project will focus on the development and hosting of the Xen support provided as part of the ON Nevada and Indiana projects. In particular the intent of this project is to provide storage and management for the Xen gate, which is composed of a number of Mercurial source repositories.
435: * [[Xfce: A lightweight desktop environment>>Project xfce.WebHome]]
436: This project aims to deliver current and future version of the Xfce desktop for OpenSolaris.
437: * [[ZFS Boot and Install>>Project zfsboot.WebHome]]
438: The ZFS Boot and Install project is tasked with providing installation and boot support for Solaris on ZFS root filesystems.
439: * [[ZFS on disk encryption support>>Project zfs-crypto.WebHome]]
440: This project will provide on disk encryption/decryption support for ZFS datasets. The project will cover the addition of encryption and decryption to the ZFS IO pipeline and the key management for ZFS datasets. It will deliver in multiple phases to support different key management strategies including one which provides support for secure deletion based on encrypted datasets.
441: * [[Zone Manager>>Project zonemgr.WebHome]]
442: The purpose of this project is to simplify Solaris zones creation and management down to a single non-interactive command line tool. The Zone Manager (zonemgr) should enable administrators to do 90% of zone creation and management.
443: * [[Zone Statistics>>Project zonestat.WebHome]]
444: The purpose of the project is to develop a tool which is currently missing from OpenSolaris: a tool to report resource control settings and resource usage of Solaris Containers (aka Solaris Zones), in one ’dashboard.’
445: * [[gcore>>Project gcore.WebHome]]
446: This project seeks to make use of the libproc interfaces within an MDB crash-dump session, in order to allow more complete access to the userspace context of a process inside a crash-dump image.
447: * [[IsCSI Extensions for Remote DMA (iSER)>>Project iser.WebHome]]
448: The project would deliver an initiator and target implementation of iSER and would use Infiniband as the underlying transport. iSER accelerates the iSCSI protocol by mapping the data transfer phases to RDMA operations.
449: * [[iSNS Server>>Project isns.WebHome]]
450: Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) is an industry standard which allows automated discovery, management and configuration of iSCSI and Fibre Channel devices (using iFCP gateways) on a TCP/IP network. iSNS is designed to be a lightweight protocol that can be deployed in iSNS Server, IP Storage switches and target devices which interact with iSNS Server as iSNS Clients. This project is an implementation of iSNS Server on Solaris.
451: * [[libMicro - portable microbenchmarks>>Project libmicro.WebHome]]
452: libMicro was written by Bart Smaalders and Phil Harman as part of their "If Linux is faster, it’s a Solaris bug!" campaign for Solaris 10. It is particularly useful to engineers investigating the code path of individual library functions and system calls. The libMicro framework has been ported to many POSIX-like platforms, supports tests across multiple processes and threads, and provides many useful statistics. Its broad base of reference test cases is easily extended using the existing code as templates.
453: * [[lofi compression & cryptography support>>Project loficc.WebHome]]
454: Add compression and encryption support to lofi(7d) and lofiadm(1m).
455: * [[lx64 brand>>Project lx64.WebHome]]
456: Support for the creation of Linux Zones (lx brand) on Solaris was introduced in build 49 of Nevada. A lx zone hosts and runs unmodified Linux applications, running on top of a thin system call translation layer. This initial integration only supports 32-bit Linux applications. This project proposed to extend the existing Linux zone functionality to add support for 64-bit Linux applications and 64-bit Linux distributions.  
457: * [[s10brand>>Project s10brand.WebHome]]
458: A project to use the BrandZ infrastructure to deliver a solaris10 brand. This will be provided as an adoption and compatibility aid to enable users currently running the Solaris Operating System to easily adopt OpenSolaris while also continuing to run their Solaris 10 software within branded zones.
459: * [[x86 Generic FMA Topology Enumerator>>Project x86gentopo.WebHome]]
460: This project will provide FMA topology enumeration for i86pc class systems.
