CSW (Community SoftWare) is a free, volunteer effort, to provide quality downloadable binary packages for Sun Solaris (currently 8, 9 and 10), both Sparc and x86. We provide them in the OS-native standard SVR4 package format. These packages are available free of charge to anyone who wishes to use them. We have been providing packages for Solaris since 2002.
Our central website is http://www.opencsw.org, where you will find official information on packages we offer, our bugtracking system, and other useful high-level resources. Here on the wiki, you will find slightly less formal pages, with information and tips on a wide range of subjects to do with OpenCSW. You're welcome to contribute to the wiki (start with "Join the wiki" in the menu on the left).
