Mainly for the ports...i think the dates the ports are first released = and last updated would be very helpful. It'd almost be nice to have a = rating system that users could rate ports on a scale, and possibly flags = that indicate active maintenance, security maintenence only, or no = longer maintained....so we know which ports are falling behind the times = perhaps. my second suggestion (hopefully taken not too harshly) would be to = perhaps start a hardcore effort at having people make howto's for = freebsd.....yes i know a lot of the linux ones apply...but im sure there = is all sorts of neat howtos people could make....from perhaps simple = stuff from like setting up a printer to specific stuff like moving = services to ssl or something..... if i have sent this to the wrong place, or should contact a different = person for the ports suggestion, please let me know so that i may = correct myself. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
