I didn't believe that the > response from the community would be this big. However, it's Christmas I want to add, that I don't get much mail regarding this... so feel free to spread the load. Also: Joel and me are contacts regarding the list, not technical contacts for the items. If there's no technical contact listed, then this means there's no technical contact (yet), so you should ask your questions on the appropriate lists. If we would know a technical contact willing to provide help, we would have listed him, so asking us about a technical contact for an item doesn't make sense (I suggested to Joel to add a text which explains this, but as he already explained: he's busy). As a side note: if there's no technical contact, most probably I did came up with the entry based upon own ideas or comments on a mailinglist. So asking Joel isn't really the right thing to do... and even I may not be able to answer your questions, since I added entries where I have absolutely no knowledge about the underlying technology. If someone wants to act as a technical contact for an entry, please speak up (or add yourself to the item in case you are a committer and know how to do this). The entries aren't set in stone, you can make everything out of them. You can implement just a basic part of an entry, or even a all signing and dancing solution which does 10 times more than the entry requested (e.g. a complete backup server solution instead of "only" a NDMP data server... but the management part of this may belong into the ports collection instead of into the base system). If someone has some nice additional ideas (I'm sure I'm not the only one who can come up with ideas without a technical contact...), please point them out (preferred are nice texts like the NDMP one, they get higher priority for adding them to the list than just "implement foobar" like messages). > time and I'm going away on a short vacation soon, and I won't be able > attend to anything related to FreeBSD. > > However, I'd be very grateful if more committers (especially native > English) could fix language, grammar, and other silly mistakes, because Helpful URL's, clarifications, extensions and the like are welcome too. > I've read this document so many times and right now my eyes hurt so much > I can barely see the difference between SGML and the pattern on my > underpants. This sounds like you are wearing strange clothes... ;-) Bye, Alexander. -- http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID = B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID = 72077137 All most people ask of life is a constant and exaggerated sense of their own importance.
