I have been looking at this casually for my own purposes and would be interested in working on it - I'm not much of a programmer, so this is at least something I can do. I'm using OI on the desktop and the absence of some common tools is particularly noticeable in that capacity.
This is a bit of a digression, but one of the major tools I can think of right off is WebKit. I understand many GNOME applications and parts of GNOME itself are beginning to standardize on WebKit and I think it will become increasingly important to have this in the main distribution. 1.1.x builds and runs with some minor glitches, but 1.2 produces a build with bugs severely impacting functionality. As far as I am aware, OpenSolaris/OI is alone among major *nix distributions in not including WebKit. There are a number of packages like this that I have been looking into, and I'd be happy to contribute to identifying important software that should be included.
