I think its a great example of that "IT Ammunition" someone mentioned that freebsd needed earlier. A website like www.spreadfirefox.com aims at targetting firefox to regular users that may not get the full "marketing dosage" from www.mozilla.org, so why not do the same for freebsd? www.spreadfreebsd.com could have a faq that would debunk alot of "Can FreeBSD run KDE?" or "Can I watch movies on FreeBSD?" type myths, also we could have some kickass screenshots, to show that FreeBSD can do anything Linux can do on the server end and the desktop. Even some success stories or testimonials. Overall the website would be aimed for people that are curious about freebsd but cant find what they are looking for in www.freebsd.org or #freebsd, What do you guys think?
