I agree with Wolfram. I believe it *is* publicly available (though I
haven't checked), and certainly it's nothing we need to keep
confidential. On the contrary, having it public has a number of
advantages:
1. It helps prepare would-be committers for what they can expect when
the Big Time comes.
2. It demonstrates our professional attitude to people who want to
know more about FreeBSD.
3. It can serve as a basis for other groups.
4. It's where many people (myself included) would first look for it.
