I am sure other content can be put up there as well. Otherwise I think it a waste since we could just put up links to the WishForm. If we can put together some good content and possibly a link(s) on freebsd.org and/or the foundation's page this may be able to build up some pressure against Adobe. Does anyone have insight on how much impact this would really make? Does the benefit of this outweigh the possibility of wasted time and effort? Chad
