FreeBSD is teamward-bound these days, and that's a good thing. The way things generally work in FreeBSD-land is that we implement a project using current infrastructure, and then branch if necessary. Yes, a dedicated mailing list is a good idea; however, nobody's using advocacy@ at the moment, so let's use it. Similarly, we need some content before demanding a section of the web site. > And it would be nice to have a webpage for this PR team to list current > goals and schedule the work.

He is a pretty durn good Web guy. :-) > (Debian used to have an active mailing list for that -- it was used for > sharing press release drafts for feedback.)
