I would like nothing more then to step forward and say "ME!", believe me. I actually would enjoy taking up a role such as this and giving something back to FreeBSD. Two things stop me from doing so. Firstly, I don't think I have the technical experience to "care for it and keep it running". I've only be using FreeBSD for a short while, with little unix experience before that. I could learn, but that's no instant solution. Secondly, I'm in a _really_ important year of my education. You know the "these exams determine your path for the rest of your life" type year. I don't have a tremendous amount of spare time, and I couldn't take on something like this without knowing how much of a pull on my time it would make. I could perhaps take up half-a-role and share responsibility with someone else. Is anyone else interested? P.S. Tom Rush has sent me a script which he has written which may assist in creating the release deltas. Contact him or myself if it might be of use. -- Andrew Boothman http://sour.cream.org PGP Key Available From Public Servers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
