We have many many stylistic or variable-type problems in teh system, that are basically "mechanical changes" We also have a very large community of people out there who are just learning about freeBSD, and would like to do something useful that would allow them to learn their way around the source tree. Maybe the following might be a good idea. After seeing jordan,and bruce slug it out over 'types' and seeing thousands of commites re: -1 -> EOF via Philip maybe it might be possible for us to have one central place where people could register the existance of a 'global bogon' /src/BOGONS? with a suggested mechanocal fix, and then we could allow juniour aspiring hackers, with a full source tree, to perform these multi-mega-patches, and submit them via a quick review and then into the tree. we have a great resource in the number of people who could do this sort of thing. We should use them.. thought? julian
