Yes, this sounds good to me! I'd like to see if we can't find a way to get more prominent billing for FreeSBIE, PC-BSD, FreeNAS, etc on the FreeBSD Project web page. Right now it's very hard to find them. I almost wondered if a rotating "Feature" panel could find its way onto our page, with a logo, a brief summary, and a link of some sort... Obviously, there's no room for that, so I've CC'd www@ in the hopes they might have some idea how we might do this. Maybe we don't need those pesky security advisories, news, or FreeBSD release links? :-) However, since increasing numbers of FreeBSD users will be using FreeBSD through derived open source bundlings and products, it would be nice to find a way to make it easier for people visiting the FreeBSD web site to find out about this.
