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.
