I'm not sure mirrors would be happy with these requirements, don't forget that changing something to the build of the www/ or doc/ sets has consequence outside of the FreeBSD.org network. On another hand, there are already some equivalent systems to graphviz in the current docproj port (I mean some "txt to graph" systems: pstricks, groff, etc.), so why not using what is already available instead of adding a new application? Regarding the graphs, I can understand the importance of the project organization graph, but for the mentor-mentee one I doubt a lot of people will really care of it. The organization graph can be static, we don't need to say who compose the teams since it's already detailed elsewhere. -- Marc
