IMHO one of these things should happen: 1. As Kris says, just move it to net/ and delete the category. 2. Move picobsd/ to meta/ and make that the home for meta-ports, such as things like docproj and instant-workstation, that do not in and of themselves install any particular software, and instead specify a set of other ports to install. (NetBSD has this as a way to tell users, "start here"). I would volunteer to do work on proposing and working the repocopies. I have a slight preference for the latter (otherwise I wouldn't have entered the keystrokes) but in either case IMHO it's silly to have it the way it is. mcl
