Oooh, I am sticking my head out on this one! On Sat, 8 Feb 1997, Jonathan M.

My only gripe here is: What's -questions material vs. -newbie material? Having duplication here makes things sticky for us support folks (what to promote? What not?) and confuses things for the users (now, which list does this belong to? Let's try both!). This may have to be worked out in time. I can see the volunteer quoting Nemeth and juicy bits from the Handbook to keep things lively... OK, fine. I'll volunteer. This means splitting time between -questions and this, so if -newbies gets too busy -questions gets it. (Oh, and I'm _not_ suggesting we call the list -newbie.) > should be familiar with majordomo (not-critical). Run my own majordomo, so I'm familiar with the proceudre. I'll have to go rip off approve from it. > should be experienced with FreeBSD, so as to be able > to distinuish the newuser questions from the more > interesting ones that may arise (critical) Well, we'll let the questions archives speak for that one and leave the idea of an "interesting one" undefined. > should be willing to augment the FAQ with the results > of the mailing list (near-critical to critical) I would amend this to submitting updates to the FAQ Maintainer.

I _think_ the doc people like me. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
