I think is was both the style and the brevity that kept my attention. > - Subject matter - too narrow? too broad? should I cover the -current > list instead of cvs-src, or try to combine both into one report? This may vary depending on the amount of activity. For me, the length of this report was very nice. Although, with your writing ability I would probably read a longer one with more, equally brief, important topics. > > - Prose - too technical? not technical enough? too flowery? too plain? The question here is probably, who is the market. I think this covers a very broad group that is seldom covered in a project like freebsd in general and in FreeBSD Current almost never. I think it is especially good for folks who are looking at current and preparing for the future. > > - Commits covered - Did I miss anything I should have included, or > include things I should have skipped? > > - Impartial?

Thanks for taking the time to research, synthesize and present this in very readable and enjoyable form. ed > > Thanks, > Mark
