> Which I find no mention of in the Minutes posted to the list :-(, what > else has not been mentioned??? A small omission, and one I took deliberate pains to mention here specifically so that you would ask this question.. :-) We agreed that different parts of the /usr/src tree could do with the annotation of a little doc (e.g. anything from /usr/src/README to /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/matcd/README, depending on the need) and that if such doc were to be added, it should be named "README" so as to be easily found. Now of course with both Danes there, I'm rather surprised they didn't jump onto their chairs and make an impassioned plea for a more global standard so that filenames like "LIESMICH" and "LESEMOI" were standardised as well, but I can only suppose that the rest of world has finally conceeded english as the international standard for source code documentation.. :-) What else wasn't mentioned? Hmmmm. Truly Rod, you are so suspicious! I really believe that's it, unless you count Ammendment 2 to the FreeBSD core charter which was ratified unanimously and quickly, so we didn't think it fit to mention. It essentially stipulates that once a week, the chief Test Technician, Rod Grimes, must don a Batman costume, false eyelashes and radio shack "siren helmet" (it takes 2 D-cells) and shop for a full hour at the local Lucky store (or any convenient local supermarket where he's known by a good number of the customers) waving a bright red feather boa and saying "Ah do declare, Miss Scarlet, but it do look like rain today!" loudly and to no one in particular at 5 minute intervals. Walnut Creek will be picking up the tab for the full outfit, so Rod need do no more than wait for the Federal Express package to arrive and start practicing a southern accent in a high-pitched voice. We're not unreasonable here! Jordan
