This was (is ?) the priciple behind our fantastic collection of unhandled PRs. We don't want to repeat that mistake. No, if you want such a page to work, it has an interested and dedicated owner, who will take an email from somebody with an idea, send it around to some likely know-it-alls to hear "is this a good idea ?" Format the edited version, put it on the page, correspond with volounteers, poll them to see if they gave up etc etc etc. Otherwise there is no point in even starting it. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
