  I have a couple of engineers at Integratus that are looking for a good
way to help with the FreeBSD project.  One of them was even planning to
write an "is this file part of a package" utility to search /var/db/pkg
and let you know whether deleting a given file was going to impact any
registered application(s).  I am sure we could arrange a few (5-10)
committed hours a week to help with this sort of thing.  You want?

  Also, I talked to Keith Packard about his microX server (one server
for all resolutions, no acceleration, no config files, around 50K total
size) at USENIX.  Do we want to revisit the idea of an optional X based
installer that uses his code as a basis?
