OmniOS succeeds due to its quite limited scope rather than a large
number of maintainers. It leaves the responsibility for providing
common server applications (e.g. Apache) to others. SFE is in a
fledgling state for OmniOS, but might prove to be a significant future
source of applications (in addition to Joyent-supported pkgsrc and
third parties who have provided public access to their IPS packages).
SmartOS does not likely have a large number of maintainers either, but
Joyent has bet its future on it. SmartOS also succeeds by limiting
its scope.
OpenIndiana has a much larger scope given how many packages it offers
by default.

Dear Bob,
I would like to see a foundation registered in the UK in early 2016 to
receive donations and sponsorship similar to Libre Office.This will help
with some of the development objectives outlined.
Regards
Robert Jones
