I'm not suggesting the ports committers would do this in addition! I'm suggesting we have separate volunteers for this function - basically, anyone can submit a "port review", and there would be a small number of people actually committing the port reviews to the site. There are 7000 ports, that are maintained, committed, etc, by how many port committers? I'm certain that not all would be reviewed (although that would be nice), and that committing a review would not be as time consuming as tracking a port itself, so I don't think it would require that many people to "commit" the port reviews. I'm of course offering to do it. Eric -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Anderson Systems Administrator Centaur Technology For Sale: Parachute.
