I am busy categorising the POSIX compliance as well as the Single Unix
Specification v2 for FreeBSD on source level basis. Thus far I have done
some things on SSv2 already at http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai under the
Programmer's Documentation Project link.

I also am a member of the Austin group which reviews the POSIX specs for
their new version. I hope to do positive work for FreeBSD there (NetBSD,
BSDI, and the Linux Standard Base are amongst the other attendees) and I
urge other people with at least more longstanding POSIX/FreeBSD hacking to
join as well just for the sake of compliancy and pre-information.
