I have seen @sun.com posters already, so it has started.

Actually, the Sun folks have been contributing indirectly for a while, and are
working on getting Solaris binary packaging organized.   They're just not big
on joining mailing lists, something we need to educate them on.

I remember hearing some talk about DTRACE efforts; I hope that is
proceeding, as it has the potential to be really generally useful
(even for non-Solaris platforms).

Solaris is one of the platforms which hasn't been quite ideal for
PostgreSQL (in comparison with, say, Linux) as it prefers threading to
forking (which doubtless links to the Java thing about threading...).
Improving PostgreSQL performance on Solaris would be no bad thing, as
that would add some useful choices in view of the gradual "dying off"
of Big Iron Unix platforms (SGI comes particularly to mind, and HP
looks to have been distracted by the Itanium thing...)
