support.html remains one of our most cluttered web pages. My proposal is to take the entire section 'User Groups' and create a new page usergroups.html that would be a verbatim copy of the existing text, with the markup changes to 1) add an index to each of the sections, 2) add a name to each of the sections for the links in that index, 3) change the header glue. (My intention would be to ask for a repocopy, then edit out the redundant text in both files). I have included two diff files. The second one, diff.out.usergroups, applies correctly to support.sgml. As for the first one: unfortunately diff gets confused trying to diff support.sgml with the new usergroups.sgml but I have hacked up its output to show what I want to do. Note: this diff will _not_ apply cleanly to a copy of that file. While the diffs may look large, they actually do not amount to much. To see what this change will look like, see the following URL: http://lonesome.com/FreeBSD_www/en/support.html. diff.short: 2,3c2,3 < <!ENTITY date "$FreeBSD: www/en/support.sgml,v 1.339 2004/06/28 21:01:47 = murray Exp $"> < <!ENTITY title "Support"> --- > <!ENTITY date "$FreeBSD$"> > <!ENTITY title "User Groups"> 10,286c10,12 < <ul> < <li><a href=3D"#mailing-list">Mailing lists</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#newsgroups">Newsgroups</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#irc">IRC</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#web">Web Resources</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#gnats">Problem Report Database</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#cvs">CVS Repository</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#user">User Groups</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#development">FreeBSD Development Projects</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#security">FreeBSD Security Guide</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#consulting">Commercial Consulting Services</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#general">General &unix; Information</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#xwin">The X Window System</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#hardware">Hardware</a></li> < <li><a href=3D"#related">Related Operating System Projects</a></li> < </ul> [more diffs elided] 322,330d22 [elided] < <a name=3D"user"></a> <=20 < <h2>User Groups</h2> <=20 < <p>FreeBSD's widespread popularity has spawned a number of user group= s < around the world.
