Yes, please! I don't mean that as a malevolent comment directed towards any of my fellow Doc people. It sounds a good idea though. I would hate to see the quality of our docs diminish, just because we want to boast that we cover a lot more topics. The quality of the documentation set and the uperb collection of manual pages is something that makes me feel proud, little as my recent contributions have been. This very same quality is the major selling point that a lot of people have talked to me about. Phrases like: ``You FreeBSD people have a wonderful doc collection.'' ``The Handbook is awesome!'' ``I still can't believe I learned so much by reading these docs.'' are not uncommon among the people whom I have persuaded to give FreeBSD a try. Let us *keep* these high standards! - Giorgos
