I'm not sure how to write a PR for this, so here's the raw info: I was looking at the "FreeBSD in the Press" page http://www.freebsd.org/news/press.html and noticed that it did not mention some of my recent articles. So, I looked at the instructions for adding links: If you miss an entry please send the URL to www@FreeBSD.ORG. I clicked on the link, expecting a mailto. Nope it's another page: http://www.freebsd.org/mailto.html Nothing here about submitting article links. Well, maybe: Who Is Responsible for What Public Relations & Corporate Liaison, Security Officer, Postmaster, Webmaster etc. So I clicked on this link, getting to http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/staff-who.html "Who Is Responsible for What" Unfortunately, nowhere on that page was the webmaster address given. So, I wandered my way back to the original page, realized that the text of the link was actually the address I needed all along, and composed this note. It may be that I'm the only person who has ever gotten confused by this setup, but the fact that I got pulled into such a runaround may indicate that the navigation is not all that it should be. While I'm on the subject, I'd like to suggest that the servers be set up so that "freebsd.org" can be used as browser shorthand for "www.freebsd.org"; currently, this just hangs... -r P.S.
