MMS is being constructed in an open source environment. We are currently developing in designated builds of OpenSolaris and will post our code very shortly. See the downloads page for more information.

Eventually, you should head over to the Documentation page for more detailed information. You may also want to peruse the various MMS blogs available, which touch on a wide variety of subjects at many different levels.

Finally, if you're a developer, you may want to visit the Source Code Tour for a detailed look at the nuts and bolts of MMS. (Under Construction).
