I'll get you some copy for a newsflash. Let me ask you this, we usually send out an email to freebsd-announce@ and then it goes to the newsflash. Should I still do this, or just send copy directly to you? The next question is regarding the button. First, the message was rejected by doc@ because it was too large.So, no one there saw the button images. Second, the person who designed the smaller button using Photoshop suggested that we send you the image and a layout for how the button is supposed to look, and let you type in the copy. That way the words will appear sharp and easy to read. The image I sent you is 72 dpi and is difficult to read.
