Maybe we need to split up FreeBSD documentation into two domains, similarly to the way FreeBSD software is split into two domains (core and ports) -- and thus have a place outside the FreeBSD handbook for the same, more-than-professional quality of documentation, but covering things we wouldn't be comfortable putting in the FreeBSD Handbook itself. --=20 Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Doug Linder: "A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street." --8X7/QrJGcKSMr1RN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkmi/hEACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKXgegCgqXKlkR58pwTzPkGAKQyEj19S pD0AnitXd1okJ9RJVEFNxEzr8/ZeJAz+ =ej3S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8X7/QrJGcKSMr1RN--
