The only project I'm working on at the moment is a personal project to configure my system...if there's anything you want help w/, email me here or at random@greatland.net, and if it's something I know anything about or am studying (right now I'm reading all I can about C) I'd be very happy to contribute. If nothing else; I'd be very happy to see how the page unfolds. :) Thanks. -Random On Tue, 22 Dec 1998, Sue Blake wrote: > I'll be updating the newbies project page next week > http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html > In the few months that this page has been going, there has been little > response to the invitation to criticise, so I guess all newbies are > blissfully happy with whatever I've done to it. > > There's a bit too much stuff for a single page already and we need > somewhere to showcase the various examples of work in progress by > newbies - web sites, documentation and so on - so that other newbies > can support them, contribute to them, or steal ideas from them. > > What I'm planning is a separate web page, which explains that > they're not finished work but opportunities to watch work in progress > and maybe collaborate with other newbies.
