Hell I know enough about HTML and a bit about CGI to help out with the web
project. It does need some updating and stuff. And some nice features
added, such as a User Group registry. Considering everything is so
centralized with FreeBSD, maybe a FreeBSD experienced user can outline a
course of study, or rules for asking help on freebsd-questions, or
whatever, for User Groups to abide by in order to learn on FreeBSD. I'm
still pushing for a FreeBSD magazine. Hell, even an online magazine would
be cool, something ike www.linuxgazette.com Could be
www.freebsdjournal.com or some crap like that. Know what I mean?
