I wanted to give a quick update on the Open Document project that we kicked off back in June. With the publication of the Schizo PRM on Monday, we have made public the original list of chipset docs that OpenBSD had asked for (see table below).

In addition to these we have posted a few others and have started work on new requests from various communities, including more from OpenBSD and some from OpenSolaris.  You can check out the complete list along with status of each at the Open Hardware wiki page.  The wiki page also gives instructions on how to request a document that you are interested in.

The Original List from OpenBSD

Schizo	Safari to UPA and PCI host bridge	Manual
Gem	Gigabit Ethernet 2.0 (GBE/P)	Manual
Cassini	GigaSwift Ethernet 1.0 UTP	Manual
Tomatillo	JIO, Jbus to PCI host bridge	Manual
Fire	Jbus to PCI-Express root complex	Manual  Errata doc  Delta doc
Cheerio	PCIO, Multi-function PCI bus device	Manual
Psycho	U2P, UPA to PCI host bridge	Manual

I would like to give a big shout out to the engineers and legal folk here at Sun who've taken this on in addition to their day jobs without additional resources. Mucho Mahalo guys and gals!

Pau for now...
