You don't get away with it that easily :-) I didn't intend to.

And other than Wilko, I don't know any alpha developers that are familiar with how the -doc team works and/or how the website is maintained. Therein lies the problem. Patrick Ouellet emailed me a good start. I've altered it slightly and left it at http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/alpha.html I'd really like it to eventually look as good as NetBSD's alpha web page. Most of the information required for something like that is already contained in Wilko's excellent HARDWARE.TXT document. Additionally, I'd be more than willing to help a -doc'er who'd be willing to adopt the alpha port.
