I'm always open for getting these references to more detailed documentation ;-) What I was trying to write was just a very quick list of 'Best practices for beginners' - if somebody want to expand it to a larger format, be my guest. I think it is important it still keep to a readable format - something that can be quickly scanned in less than 2 minutes. This can be done using the normal format for patterns languages. However, I don't have the time to write up a full pattern language for FreeBSD :-), so if somebody want to go to that level (and that would be good), it would have to be somebody else. Eivind.
