It was on Trac when this was offered as hosted app on SourceForge. Unfortunately they discontinued the service.
We had some copy on the buildfarm but the zone doesn’t seem to start everything properly and I need to look that
up. However, I vaguely remember we moved everything useful to the manual at
  https://www.opencsw.org/manual/index.html

Maybe this is a good start?

I have been building a few things on my SPARC Solaris 10 machines and would like to contribute to the OpenCSW project in some way, I’m not really sure how though. I would love to be able to contribute a few packages here and there and wouldn’t mind updating the website if the interest is there from the rest of you guys. How do I do this? Who do I contact and how does the process work?
