I'm probably getting ahead of things, so take these comments with a proverbial grain of salt. With RELNOTESng now committed to -CURRENT, I recommend that Lee take a look at the supported hardware list there as well. It's (unintentionally) very similar in form to the hardware list in the handbook, however it is more actively maintained. Garrett Wollman commented that the format of RELNOTESng's supported hardware list could stand some improvement, which I completely agree with (it's too hard to browse because of its length, for starters). He also suggested a tabular format. I think this is do-able, although perhaps not in exactly the form he suggested. More details in this message: <200104241721.NAA97189@khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu>. Eventually it'd be great if we could also further reduce duplication between the Handbook and our release documentation, but I'm not sure what's the best way to accomplish that either. Just some food for thought. I agree with Nik's suggestion of sending out some samples for comments first. Cheers, Bruce. --==_Exmh_760827418P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.2 06/23/2000 iD8DBQE6+V1T2MoxcVugUsMRAjuNAJ4ziceukqwjObQV3/1aFT/QafjNUACgveVY xdIoe4dJ478oTPacQnJpytE= =Gr7s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_760827418P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
