Would that work? And then you end up with two entirely separate repositories and entirely separate groups. I think that while WC has the most money and other resources to throw at advocacy, out of the major FreeBSD supporters, it would be nice to see an advocacy site as a separate entity. This way one could go "Oh look at Windows, and all the Microsoft created advocacy" and "Look at FreeBSD, the (non coding) users love it enough to spread the word". And it pisses off core just a little less ;O - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
