http://freebsd.tesserae.com is intended to be an advocacy site. For
FreeBSD it seems that alot of advocacy stuff comes from articles and news.
Release announcements, new commercial software, and "FreeBSD is good"
articles seem to make up 95% of advocacy work for FreeBSD. So, on that
note, We decided to put news on the front page of the site. It will give
people an idea what is going on with FreeBSD and allow them to see the
great new things that are happening with FreeBSD. News is advocacy.
