Hi, im not sure if this is the right place but i have a couple =
suggestions i feel would help.

Mainly for the ports...i think the dates the ports are first released =
and last updated would be very helpful.  It'd almost be nice to have a =
rating system that users could rate ports on a scale, and possibly flags =
that indicate active maintenance, security maintenence only, or no =
longer maintained....so we know which ports are falling behind the times =
perhaps.

my second suggestion (hopefully taken not too harshly) would be to =
perhaps start a hardcore effort at having people make howto's for =
freebsd.....yes i know a lot of the linux ones apply...but im sure there =
is all sorts of neat howtos people could make....from perhaps simple =
stuff from like setting up a printer to specific stuff like moving =
services to ssl or something.....

if i have sent this to the wrong place, or should contact a different =
person for the ports suggestion, please let me know so that i may =
correct myself.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Robert
