> Well, that's what the archives are for. I think one thing that would help would be a better search engine. Sometimes the one that exists can be a real beast, especially when looking for a question you've seen answered. I don't mean to slight whomever is responsible for putting it together... I recently found www.nexial.nl/search.html. This is apparently a site where Nexial shows off the capabilities of their search engine software by making several popular mailing lists (firewalls, BSDI, Ascend-users, etc.) available available through their search engine. It works very very well. Perhaps a few people from core could ask them if they would be interested in archiving at least -questions for the FreeBSD community. If they said yes, it would be an excellent resource for everyone involved in the FreeBSD project. We could point people to the search engine for the "duh" questions with more confidence that they'd find the answer. What do you all think? I'll contact them if you all wish, but I think mail from someone that represents the FBSD project might be more seriously considered... Charles > newbies going "HELP!" in the mailing lists.
