I think we (the FreeBSD community) need to co-operate more on our advocacy sites. If everyone ploughs ahead and makes an advocacy site, we will not get the most "value for money". We currently have daily.daemonnews.org and freebsd.tesserae.com doing basically the same thing. (ie. Slashdot-like news sites). I'm not sure the market exists for yet another advocacy site. You say it will "provide support"; does this mean something like freebsd.peon.net? > FreeBSD *is* and *always* will be the main focus, but I thought > supporting the other less-known would help all around. This is a good idea. (Although I wouldn't call them "less-known". If there were any advocates of Net or OpenBSD around you might start a flame war :) ).
