A few months back I started writing a series in Daemon News entitled "Trawling the Ports Collection". The idea was to show off some of the neat things in the Ports Collection which people might otherwise gloss over. Things didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. I found that it took a long time for me to find interesting ports, more time than I had available, and the result was decidedly second-rate. I still think the idea is good, it's just a question of time. I can see two solutions, both of them requiring help from *you*: - You, as a ports maintainer, write an article about one of your favourite ports. - You, as a ports maintainer, get together with me and together we'll write and article about one of your favourite ports. I'm happy either way. It would be nice to coordinate it, though, so that we only have one article per month. Well, that sounds like a good idea, anyway. Since the articles aren't supposed to be FreeBSD-specific, it would also be very good if the ports were also available on NetBSD and OpenBSD (or at least one of them; might encourage somebody to port it to the other platform :-) Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
