For example, this morning after we discussed screen shots, I sent a mail to John Fieber. He's in charge of web page design for the FreeBSD site. He's a student, so he may not get back to us until Monday, since his e-mail is indiana.edu, or even later, since the last two weeks were probably spring break. I decided that I'd heard that idea enough times over the last two years that it's worth pursuing. He's the one who can tell us how big they can be, where to dump them, etc., since he's the one who will build the web pages from them. Other than the FreeBSD web site or something that needs official permission from Jordan, or a 'port' that needs to be committed by an official 'committer', guess what? We're it! Pick something you want to work on, and go to it. Nobody official asked Mark Mayo to build his database of articles and academia, he just took it on himself. Ditto the tireless Greg Lehey and Doug White, who take so much of their time to make -questions work for all of us. Frank Pawlak Started to take on the task of coordination for -advocacy, but I haven't heard from him in a few days. You'll have to get used to the idea that in a democracy (almost anarchy?) like this is, some ideas get done and some don't. Pick something, work on it, and ask for help when you get stuck. Never be afraid to ask for help. Getting started is the first step to getting something done, so have at it! There's no shortage of stuff to do!
