Or am I just reiterating an old idea? > Hi, Darren - This IS our task force, this list. Sometimes we don't all go in the same direction, and sometimes our FreeBSD Project Perl Scripts get crabby when some task force members do more finger-pointing than generating either quality code or suggestions for real advocacy. Any Internet mailing list occasionally gets clogged with this kind of noise. We have actually gotten several good projects off the ground through this list. There are several thriving new e-zines, "Install-a-thons" and documentation projects going on. Articles are being written, books prepared, etc. FreeBSD mentions in the mainstream press have gone up dramatically since this list started. Jordan Hubbard, the senior core member and Fearless Leader of the FreeBSD Project, is actually trying to hire a full-time advocacy general to supplement our individual volunteer efforts.
