(For "Works with" products) I submit that the ports collection websites be adapted for this purpose. This infrastructure already exists. http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html Maybe we can update the preamble on this document to explain the branding. Then we can descend the ports tree with 'sed' and tack on some code to display the logos in the DESCR (or reasonable substitute) or maybe have the cgi that runs that show do it for us. This idea handles the port kit. It can handle a link to the vendor. The notes can go right in the DESCR. Some "expression based" programming/parsing can easily handle all of this once it is known what is "Designed for" and what is "Works with" Catchya Later, | UW Mechanical Engineering Jason Wells | http://weber.u.washington.edu/~jcwells/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
