I'm afraid I don't understand what you are talking about.
My post was referring to the email from Chanakya Open Source
Technologies. If my tone seemed negative, it was because I have the
suspicion that they are looking for money for their services, and not
offering to volunteer. If I am wrong, and COST is actually volunteering
its services for free, then I hereby apologise.
I'm not sure why you were directed to the freebsd-doc list for help,
because freebsd-doc tends to be for postings about documentation issues
that need to be addressed. If you would like help with FreeBSD technical
problems, an excellent place to start is the Usenet group:
comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc
or the freebsd-questions mailing list.
Trust me, 90% of the people are friendly. In fact, most are more
friendly than you'll find on most other groups. I am not a good example,
as I have grown tired and cynical over my years.
