Due to the lack of a suitable place for discussing FreeBSD architecture, we've re-cycled the freebsd-arch list. This list is now open (anybody can subscribe), but moderated (anybody can post to the list, but the postings will be reviewed for appropriateness and for not just re-hashing things that others have just said. I'm planning to keep the volume on the list low, so if a large discussion is active, your new topic is likely to be artificially delayed until the other discussion has run its course. I'll of course let topics that are urgent and appropriate through (though I really can't think of anything that would be both urgent and appropriate for freebsd-arch at the moment :-) I'll attempt to clone the moderator style that John Levine run for comp.compilers - that is, a fairly intrusive moderator that fix up spelling etc, and may add small editorial comments to the messages. I do this because this is the style I've seen work best. Comments/complaints about how the moderation works is welcome; unless there seems to be large problems which warrant public discussion (e.g, common calls for a new moderator), I'll handle these in private. This is the charter for the "new" list: --- FREEEBSD-ARCHITECTURE This is a moderated list for discussion of FreeBSD architecture. Messages will mostly be kept technical in nature, with (rare) exceptions for other messages the moderator deems need to reach all the subscribers of the list. Examples of suitable topics: * How to re-vamp the build-system to have several customized builds running at the same time * What needs to be fixed with VFS to make Heidemann layers work * How do we change the device driver interface to be able to use the same drivers cleanly on many buses and architectures? Example of a non-suitable topic: * How do I write a network driver? The moderator reserves the right to do minor editing (spell-checking, grammar correction, trimming) of messages that are posted to the list. The volume of the list will be kept low, which may include having to delay topics until an active discussion has been resolved. --- I will wait a couple of days before approving the first messages, to allow people time to subscribe. Messages will be processed in the order I recieve them, so you can start posting now - it just won't show up before I start approving. Eivind.
