I support this proposal entirely.  While I think all of us appreciate
the work that Wolfram has done over the years, I've also fielded a
number of complaints during the same period that he's a "write-only
webmaster" and doesn't appear to generate much in the way of strategic
roadmaps or guidelines. You only hear from him when he's angry about
something.  That's perhaps understandable given the constraints on his
time, but hardly helps to make FreeBSD's web presence more of a group
effort and hopefully also advance the state of our content.  I think
we've definitely reached the point where we need to move beyond the
centrist webmaster view and into a broader working group.
