I'm curious. Not really. Everyone does what they can when they can. I'm on one of my periodic rampages through my pile of unanswered mail to tackle some of them now. Going through some of these, and responding to some of the ones that are a bit vague ("I couldn't find out how to configure ") with a patch that documents whatever the PR is about is a very good way of being invited to become a committer quite quickly :-) N -- If you want to imagine the future, imagine a tennis shoe stamping on a penguin's face forever. --- with apologies to George Orwell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
