I just read the status report of the year 2003 from DragonFlyBSD. I ask (not only) myself why don't we have something like this monthly or bi-monthly. I regularly read the cvs-src and current lists, but surely there are many developments that I can't understand from the commit messages. And what about a regular user, who just reads some relnotes and can't see the continuous work? There are weekly news about what code got into the latest Linux kernels. But I'd like to know what's going on about FreeBSD! I don't think so that it would take a whole day to just write down a few lines every (second) month about the work is in progress and/or done. The last of these reports was written in September last year (by Scott Long and Robert Watson). pity. My intention is far from hurting anybody. Just want to get the information what other OS-users (linux/dragonfly) got. -- --arutz
