Paraphrasing a recently received email, from an organisation that sponsored
some commits.=20

<https://freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd/>; under 'Who is Using FreeBSD?',=20

> =E2=80=A6 A more comprehensive list can be found here. =E2=80=A6

<https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/nutshell.html#i=
ntroduction-nutshell-users>
redirects to
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/introduction/#nutshell>; in the
FreeBSD Handbook,=20

> Welcome to FreeBSD!

It was not immediately obvious where to find a more complete list of vendors
that may be using FreeBSD.=20

----

When I dug, today: the link from the FreeBSD Handbook, back to the Foundati=
on
site, did find the organisation in a page that someone captured two months =
ago:
<https://web.archive.org/web/2/https://freebsdfoundation.org/about-us/testi=
monials/>.=20

The Project home page does more accurately link to
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/introduction/#introduction-nuts=
hell-users>,=20

> Who Uses FreeBSD?

=E2=80=93 however, the Project's referring phrase does not do justice to th=
e scope of
Foundation-provided testimonials:=20

> busiest web sites

Side note: the home page can be improved by, amongst other things, a _direc=
t_
link to testimonials. Some overlap with discreet work in progress on bug
273017. These things should, please, be out of scope for this bug report.=20

----

For this report:=20

- focus on improving part(s) of the introduction within the Handbook

- take inspiration from <https://freebsdfoundation.org/about-us/testimonial=
s/>

- I can contact someone at the Foundation, with reference to this report.
