X-BeenThere: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Non technical items related to the community List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 01 Nov 2003 12:36:33 -0000 Just a wild idea here: It seems to me that there is a need for an announcements list for items related to, but not part of, the FreeBSD project. Things like portupgrade, FreeBSD Update, freshports, and various BSDs based on FreeBSD (DragonFly, war, pico, mini, freesbie...) are all likely to be of interest to many FreeBSD users, but there isn't really any logical mailing list for announcements from such projects. Does anyone else feel this need? Colin Percival
