It occurs to me that the "yet" that I added to this subject is a little misleading. Michael wasn't talking about articles which would appear this weekend... From Michael's original message: The last time I checked, I get 12-15 thousand readers for each article. One half of one percent uptake would (hopefully) be quite a few bug reports. My question to the community is: is it too early to do this? If I start now, the articles would probably appear April-May. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
