Community site planning
Hello. If you're returning from a break, I hope it went well. If not, well, that's where I've been recently.
Jumping back into things: We're setting up a community site for Sun xVM Ops Center, and since you are the community, I thought I'd see what you think.
We were thinking of having a single site for troubleshooting tips, deployment scenarios, tools that you make with the WS-Man API, and general discussion. It'd have a discussion forum and open wiki space. In general or specifically, what would you like to see in this community site? Leave a comment and let me know.
In other news, I guess I checked out early for break, as I missed the Sun xVM VirtualBox update on the 17th. Among other things, there's experimental support for 64-bit guests on 32-bit hosts and full VMDK/VHD support.
Go for it!!

Do you consider to use forums.sun.com? We will do so for xVM VDI.

Forums.sun.com is useful, but a forum is only one of the features that we need the site to have. Wiki space, mailing lists, and easy downloads are also important.
At the moment we're looking at kenai.com. Sun xVM Server has a project there, and it meets our requirements and comes highly recommended by the openxVM folks.
What do you think?

A bug tracker would be very great.

Agreed. I'll see what I can do. The community plan is still in progress, but I'll keep you posted.
