I see, from time to time, people asking "what can I do". A page of interesting small things to start on would be an excellent place to point people. [Of course, that's one of the first things to go on the "interesting projects list." :-) ] Also, I should add that this is something to consider well *after* the up-coming releases... Everyone is busy enough already :-) Seems like a page would be preferable to the handbook - but - I'm not sure... opinions? - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
