It's independent of the mailing lists -- there's a feed of the News=20 articles that appear here: http://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash.html plus Security Advisories and (I think) Errata notices from the RSS=20 channels on the web site, but that's about it. So far. Having a larger user-base is definitely a good thing. That means=20 attracting complete beginners by what ever means work, since today's Noob is potentially tomorrow's elite Kernel programmer. If the FreeBSD=20 project can make itself accessible through all of the sort of web-based=20 tools now generally popular, so much the better for the future of the=20 project. Not that I expect the forums to consist entirely of questions on the=20 level of 'Which one is the "any" key?' So far the standard of questions=20 and answers appears to be at least on a par with the general traffic on=20 this list. Early days yet but the auguries are good.=20 Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enig1443B2C41766E75BA9AD7E0F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREIAAYFAkkgf4cACgkQ8Mjk52CukIwvMgCfel/DIXwCY5H6d3lFT6OjygqD eo4An0nEr0mpl3YQ8Z/9sPjqY57ZputF =v2Qf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig1443B2C41766E75BA9AD7E0F--
