It's independent of the mailing lists -- there's a feed of the News=20
articles that appear here: http://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash.html
plus Security Advisories and (I think) Errata notices from the RSS=20
channels on the web site, but that's about it.  So far.

Having a larger user-base is definitely a good thing.  That means=20
attracting complete beginners by what ever means work, since today's
Noob is potentially tomorrow's elite Kernel programmer.  If the FreeBSD=20
project can make itself accessible through all of the sort of web-based=20
tools now generally popular, so much the better for the future of the=20
project.

Not that I expect the forums to consist entirely of questions on the=20
level of 'Which one is the "any" key?' So far the standard of questions=20
and answers appears to be at least on a par with the general traffic on=20
this list.  Early days yet but the auguries are good.=20

	Cheers,

	Matthew
