Hummm. I hadn't ever come across that site before. Although I thought it was interesting that when I tried http://osonline.org/ it defaults to /linux/ :-) As someone has already pointed out, the author claims that he wrote the site himself in PHP. Slashdot is written in Perl ( last time I looked anyway :-) If you have suggestions for freebsd.tesserae.com you can email advocacy@freebsd.tesserae.com with ideas comments, gripes, uplifting statements, etc. We've been working on adding new features to the site and realize that many of the features that slashdot has are what people want. We'd also like to hear how you might like those features to be done, and which ones you don't feel are important. -- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
