I actually was dumb enough to own up to this.  I have been collecting
information off of small@ as well as private emails to put into a set
of web pages.  I have also registered embeddedfreebsd.org/net/com and
freebsdembedded.org/net/com.  I'm working with the FreeBSD admins on
whether or not I'll host pages directly on freebsd.org or go with the
current Trusted BSD model of hosting them myself.  Long run it would
be best to be on freebsd.org

I should have rudimentary pages within the week.

Later,
George
