Bjorn is a single point of failure for this list, and he's the only one who can maintain it. Consensus appears to be that it's a useful resource that deserves keeping. Any opinions on bringing this into the doc/ tree? I think having it as an article would be useful. Multiple people could maintain it that way. I'm in the final landing stages of "Absolute FreeBSD," so I could do the conversion in a couple of months (six weeks to finish the book, two weeks to stare blankly at the wall). If anyone felt like doing the article-ization beforehand, I wouldn't object. Opinions? ==ml -- Michael W.
