Hello List! None of you know me; mainly because I don't have much to say (I read the lists, but only make comments when I feel I have something useful to contribute). As someone who is very happy with the FreeBSD operating system, I believe this can be my way of giving back. My mother, a Boston Globe Employee (owned by The New York Times, mind you), said a good way to get something printed in the business/tech section was to write a letter to the editor of the tech section, PR attached. From there, it could be picked up by other papers, etc. I don't know. It's definitely a thought. If we create a letter that we can accompany the PR with, I think we could get somewhere. When I get a chance I can start working on a nice letter. Though, ideas of what it should contain would be helpful. - Patrick Cable II Media Technician, Dennett Elementary School - Plympton, MA "Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.

Well, yes. But it can be fixed, even now. It would be nice if someone went into the archives, got out that comprehensive to-do list, and posted it in a nice HTML version where people could claim tasks, statuses could be given, etc. Committers are available to back real work. We are not available to spew hot air. :-) On Sat, Jan 25, 2003 at 06:53:58PM -0800, Peter Kieser wrote: > Was searching through the archives and found this: > > "With version 5 coming up, we have a great chance to get people to look > at FreeBSD, and to get a lot of positive press.
