The goal is still to auto generate listings for most devices that has a manual page for the 5.3 release. > Alternatively, would it be possible for someone involved to drop me a bri= ef=20 > note when a mention would be most appropriate? Sure, I can do that. It will probably be sometime around 5.3-RELEASE. > BTW, I'm not averse to mentioning other significant doc@ commits, althoug= h I=20 > don't have time to follow the doc cvs. If there are commits or general= =20 > changes that you'd like to see me note in a summary, please drop me a mai= l. =20 OK - this could also be a good way for other contributors to help the doc project out a bit (hint hint, to whoever other doc@ people that read this :-) ). Actually I think it's worth nothing the DocBook slides murray@ added (in doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/slides/) this week. E.g.: Murray Stokely (murray) added some general slides about FreeBSD that can be used when doing presentations about FreeBSD. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200409071215.i87CFCgD024825 > * Sorry, you've probably heard it a million times. :) He, I actually hadn't heard that one before :-). --=20 Simon L.
