What would people think of starting an 'Adopt a Newbie Program' where volunteers can hold the hand of a newbie as they trudge up the FreeBSD learning curve? Volunteers could be signed up with a list of their skills or areas of expertise, and matched with a newbie who will have similar requirements. Not all newbies will want the same thing, and not all Gurus have the same areas of expertise, so some sort of matching would probably be a good thing. Certain things would have to be in place so that the Gurus would only take on as many newbies as they wanted at any given time etc. Just a thought, I'm sure there are lots of issues involved in creating somthing like this. -- Damien Tougas Converging Technology Solutions, Inc.
