This would be great if the community could get involved, which I'm sure most will. But if its done I feel that we need to also pay attention, or at least list what the date and port version of the review is, and perhaps a php/cgi interface to cvsweb for version tracking/bug fixes. This way users will know when the review was, and what version as updates usually mean better functionality and bug fixes. > > - jim > > -- > jim mock jim@FreeBSD.org > -- Tom (Darklogik) Rhodes www.FreeBSD.org -The Power To Serve www.Pittgoth.com -Pittgoth Discussion Portal trhodes@{Pittgoth.com, FreeBSD.org} PGP key by www: http://www.pittgoth.com/~darklogik/darklogik.key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
