I > suppose we can take this as collective flattery, but I find it disturbing. I don't know our SGML documentation format yet but my guess is that they both derive from a common ancestor. Nik Clayton could elaborate on this... The FreeBSD team has often stated that the resources of the project are available for the taking. Even if they had derived from FreeBSD I'd guess this is OK with the project. It *is* FreeBSD :-) > > So can someone explain te penguin at the bottom? Very very nasty.. > > I smell a penguin^Wrat.... *Shrug* I suppose that the person responsible for the site is familiar with Linux. I expect FreeBSD to be very popular with the types of developers who will be interested in this, be patient and lend us a hand with some good advocacy on behalf of FreeBSD. We don't need to alienate ourselves from the action. IMHO this is a project that is very good for FreeBSD. I certainly hope that some of -core get interested in the project as well. I believe very strongly that CTI is very late coming around to FreeBSD which seems to be a natural fit for those applications. Today's announcement of Microsoft buying into Dialogic has been largely overshadowed by this one. I'm thrilled! Cheers, Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth. > > Alex G.
