if by "blastwave" you mean the previous blastwave.org project, it will 
support solaris 10, opensolaris, solaris sxce and derivated (schillix, 
belenix, and so on). Currently, it supports sol8 & 9 too.
It will not be a CSW-only project but it will be a community hosting 
different projects.
The new home page is going to be http://wiki.blastwave.org

if by "fork" you mean the new opencsw.org project, it is currently 
dedicated to sol8,9, and 10 and its aim is to continue the CSW-only 
packaging effort.
The new home page is going to be http://www.opencsw.org
