The site's listings for publications are a bit of a maze, at present. Is there any chance that they could be reorganized and brought up to date? I am willing to do some of the work, if that would help. Here are some specific issues: http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs.html * Kirk McKusick's courses are listed under "Articles". * The "Articles" section also overlaps with the "Press" page (http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/press.html). Perhaps some way could be found to make these pages work together better. * The Daemon News entry says very little about all the things (e.g., BSDMall) they are doing. It also contains some text that appears to be intended for some other item: Like FreeBSD itself, this documentation is the product of a volunteer effort. The goals of the project are outlined here, as are the procedures for submitting corrections and new material. http://www.freebsd.org/publish.html This page is, IMHO, more cute than useful. It is tedious to navigate, contains typos, and is badly out of date. I would like to suggest a redesign of this page and the addition of a number of items. * Add listings for more recent publications, including: Complete FreeBSD, 3rd. Ed. Daemon News The DOSSIER series FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide FreeBSD Handbook, 2nd. Ed. FreeBSD An Open-Source OS for your PC (2nd. Edition) * Add pointers to places where these publications may be obtained. * Split up the page by type of publication and/or language. * Kill off the listings for items (e.g., FreeBSD News) that are of only historic interest. (These could be moved to another page, if desired). * Fix assorted errors in the descriptions. -r -- email: rdm@cfcl.com; phone: +1 650-873-7841 http://www.cfcl.com/rdm - my home page, resume, etc. http://www.cfcl.com/Meta - The FreeBSD Browser, Meta Project, etc. http://www.ptf.com/dossier - Prime Time Freeware's DOSSIER series http://www.ptf.com/tdc - Prime Time Freeware's Darwin Collectiontion To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-www" in the body of the message
