Hi David and Mark, After reading David's first mail I've contacted wpaul@ (2005-08-01) to try and get some confirmation about the quality of the tutorial that David offered. So far Bill has not yet responded, unfortulately. I would like to edit the article and convert it to SGML if I get some 'authoritative' confirmation about the validity of the information in the tutorial, or as I put it to Bill: "My question to you is if you could take a look at the above mentioned web page [1] and let me know if the information in it is a) correct and b) sufficient for the 'Handbook scope' (i.e. general interest and a 'quick start')." If YOU are able to answer the question above, please let me know and I'll go forward. Cheers!

One of the things in my experience with FreeBSD is that lack of repsonse more often means that everyone is hoping that someone else will pick up the ball and run with it, rather than the fact that no one thinks it's a good idea. Many of our most active committers are, well, overcommitted :) with their own projects and neat ideas. Note: generally if people think something's a _bad_ idea they'll let you know :-) I know it can be kind of frustrating for someone who's not a "known quantity" to be able to get something into the documentation/source tree/ports/whatever, but the key seems to be persistence over the long-term. fwiw, this idea sounds pretty good to me and I hope you pursue it. mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
