And my e-mails have always discussed ways to get more resources. Recently we even had a group of people trying to arrange for more explicit corporate support for testing and release process. For some reason unclear to me, not a single developer has stepped up and said "Great. Here's how we could use you..." The entire concept of getting *more resources* is the elephant in the room that everyone seems intent to avoid considering. Maybe, just maybe, there is some reason why FreeBSD doesn't want more people helping. Or ... something. I haven't the vaguest clue. If there is some reason why getting paid people to work on testing and release cycle is a bad idea, would someone please stand up and explain? -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness
