I'll be working on replacing groff with mdocml (mandoc) in the system base (and yes, I am aware of Gordon's work on a man replacement<http://people.freebsd.org/%7Egordon/man.sh>). In addition, I will be creating or (more likely) porting BSD-ish licensed feature-complete replacements for: diff, sort, sdiff, diff3, also moving them into the base (and yes, I know of the bsddiff and bsdsort ports). Finally, I will perform some benchmark comparisons between these new tools and their GNU counterparts. More info is available at my project page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/SOC2010BenFiedler Any feedback or questions are most welcome. Thanks, -Ben
