Terry, that's an excellent summation! I _really_ like that thought. My
goal, of course, is to add to the advocate base so that we don't detract
from current efforts. Some will join existing projects and some will
start off in new directions. Lots of times, the 'existing directions'
have a steep entry curve. There are groups (like the DocBook and PDP
projects) working to address that issue, but they themselves have steep
entry curves as well.
I've been at this for 6 years now, and I still consider myself a FreeBSD
newbie. I'm all for a propagation of different efforts to explain it,
and part of my role as I see it is to see that the facts are right.
