I guess if nobody objects, even though I am not very qualified I will start a basic index.html... also... I noticed that the CD doesn't have one either... I guess that will be included as I would make multiple index.html for the directories... also... one advantage to having a index.html in the FreeBSD directory would be to help reduce the strain on overseas links... though it may be a small one some people reading from mirrors might like the extra speed...
