>Description:
I used Linux for several years and switched over to FreeBSD since about one year.
With Linux I organised the HowTos differently than standard by creating a seperate section for all language related HowTos. 
With Linux the problem is more serious because there are much more languages explicitly supported. 
But I expect FreeBSD to catch up sooner or later and then the problem will arise there also. 
Therefore I kindly suggest to create an independent toplevel seperate section called "language" to collect all language related subdirectories there. 
It's also my impression that this is not much work but can save some for others navigating through the ports collection or looking for a specific language or a similar one.
