Hello Marcin, > I disagree. It is a serious problem and should not be ignored just > because of infrastructure limitations. I disagree. This is not a serious problem. It is a perfect valid choice given the infrastructure we have. So we decided NOT to get this indexed by google via the CGI scripts. It is fine that you do not agree with that but as long as the system administrators for FreeBSD do not wave the white flag for this, this is not going to change, no matter what your opinion about this is. It had been noted though that you disagree and would like the behaviour changed. If it will be changed, you will notice it soon enough. > Why bother having a web page if it not findable on google ? Because it's interactive for your purpose and not google's? > Besides, it could be solved with caching or by exporting content to > static pages with periodic updates. There are possibly many more alternatives, however, we decided to take this route, and will taking the route untill someone that can decide about this over the possible impact will change the course. Thank you for trying to make FreeBSD better. -- /"\ Best regards, | remko@FreeBSD.org \ / Remko Lodder | remko@EFnet X http://www.evilcoder.org/ | / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
