Paul's recent attempts with ports do count as "work for community",
and FreeBSD isn't a pissing contest. He doesn't even need to "think
he can't do" more: however small is his contribution in your eyes,
it's a product of his good will, and is an effort donated to the
benefit of us all.
Please don't take away his enthusiasm from him when he's just
started; for all I know, he might growing to become the next edwin,
mcl or thierry.
