If you want to give me a heads up a couple of days before each issue goes up we can prep a story and associated link. /. stories get held in a queue and we can activate them at a set time, at which point they're automatically posted, so it's not like we need to coordinate this at the last minute or anything like that. Obviously, for the front page of /. it would help if the chosen story was of relevance to more than one BSD (and, ideally, the other free software efforts as well). For example, either the "Dual CPU" article or Greg's Daemon Advocate column would have made good front page material, IMHO.
