How about making > someone (preferably someone familiar with all the people involved with > FreeBSD) incharge of helping new volunteers. Well, that would be a fairly dreaded task then. Remember, most of us are here for fun, and `fun' spells for many of us like `coding'. So while we are certainly all willing to take our share, and get new volunteers flying (i remember that i've helped a few people to find a start in the project, like Peter Dufault, or John Polstra), we rather prefer doing so _in addition_ to other tasks. If done right, it will become an (albeit slow) chain reaction since those new contributors will one day also be able to `mentor' new people. Trying to dump over this task to a single person is something i suspect will be a dead end. > Make it easier to submit documentation. Hmm, i don't have an idea about the current size of activities of the `docs' folks. I always refer interested parties to their mailing list. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
