Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.88e Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'll be updating the newbies project page next week http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html In the few months that this page has been going, there has been little response to the invitation to criticise, so I guess all newbies are blissfully happy with whatever I've done to it. There's a bit too much stuff for a single page already and we need somewhere to showcase the various examples of work in progress by newbies - web sites, documentation and so on - so that other newbies can support them, contribute to them, or steal ideas from them. What I'm planning is a separate web page, which explains that they're not finished work but opportunities to watch work in progress and maybe collaborate with other newbies. Of course this puts the spotlighted workers under some pressure to keep on working :-) I can host the extra page here while we decide if it's suitable for the FreeBSD site. http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/hard-yakka.html OK you newbies who are sweating tirelessly out there, come up for air for a sec. Does this sound like the approach you'd like to see or have I got it all wrong? Has anyone got any other ideas? Send me your URLs and a sentence or two describing what it is about. Documentation? Advocacy? A web page proposing something you'd like to work on with other newbies? If it's not safely free of errors and finished enough to be useful, say so and I can hang on to the info for the next update, probably a month later, and mention that it's coming. If you don't have a URL for what you're doing, just give me a description and your email address for fan mail. Malartre, are you gonna start the ball rolling or have you disappeared for the holidays? -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
