OK. I got the impression from a thread a couple of months ago (whose name I can't remember) that we were trying to reduce/remove all of those intro blurbs. If that's not the case, then nevermind. :) This does still leave the FAQ though; do we want to include "This question submitted by X" at the bottom of a bunch of questions if somebody puts it there (I don't know if anybody does this or not), or do we want to create a new <sect> under the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS chapter to move this info to? I'm still just kind of throwing out ideas off the top of my head, so don't hesitate to tell me if they seem unreasonable. :) Eric > -----Original Message----- > From: Nik Clayton [mailto:nik@FreeBSD.ORG] > Sent: Monday, July 24, 2000 1:29 PM > To: Eric Ogren > Cc: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: Page for doc contributors? > > > On Mon, Jul 24, 2000 at 09:56:52AM -0400, Eric Ogren wrote: > > Just had a quick thought and I figured I might as well > throw it out into > > public.
