The other information was of the helpful type, in addition, someone could accept/edit more extensive descriptions of the capabilities and pros/cons of the software. Proponents of certain ports/packages could submit improvements to the information without all the burden being on the maintainer. This would make the site/document a nice place for advocacy. It would relatively brief, so as not to take up too much time for contributors or the maintainer(s). I think the comments would be a good idea in some type of dynamic web interface like what is done on the online bookstores, but it would probably be too much hassle for too little benefit if the maintainer has to sort through, moderate and post comments manually. OTOH, dynamic, open comments on this topic could turn into yet another flamewar (vi vs. emacs comes to mind). That would be less than helpful even though it could be mildly entertaining :). > > David only my opinion, Brian Raynes To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
