@ncommander I think what @Toasterson was trying to point out was just how nascent things are over there in our ARM corner, and trying to set expectations about how likely it is that there's going to be much documentation at this early stage.
There is definitely no intent to keep people out of the project; illumos has a code of conduct and we welcome users and contributors of all sorts -- I really appreciate you digging in on the bash stuff last night! Thanks again.
