In the excitement of setting up a project, it seems Stacy and I have mana= ged=20 to steal it inadvertantly from Peter Kieser. Our sincerest apologies to P= eter=20 for the offence, we hope that we can mend some fences and possibly join=20 forces with him. Also, some people, including Peter, have offered servers to help host a d= omain=20 for such a site, our thanks to you all. Please keep the pledges coming. The origional idea for the project is from Peter Kieser, <pfak@telus.net>= ,=20 please contact him with sugestions you might have for such a project. An HTML version of the mailing list's "TO DO LIST" to improve FreeBSD PR,= =20 origionally posted by Eric Anderson has been set up by Stacy Olivas=20 <olivas@digiflux.org> and is available at http://digiflux.org/fbsd-advoca= cy/ If you wish to contribute hosting of back-up DNS, back-up MX or WWW space= for=20 the planned web site, please contact me <will@unfoldings.net> for details= =2E Once again, we apologize profusely to Peter and everybody else for our=20 overzealous grabbing of his idea, we're not only looking for technical=20 contributions, any hands we can get are welcome too, we hope that Peter w= ould=20 be willing to give us a hand, possibly as a project leader and/or an edit= or=20 for the site, I certainly don't think I'm much of a project leader, and I= 'm=20 sure Stacy would agree that we could do well focusing on technical aspect= s of=20 such a project, with someone with the right field of skills providing the= =20 leadership and co-ordination we would need to tackle this properly, and m= ost=20 certainly to avoid stepping on people's toes in future. Any technical help would also be appreciated, or even links or resources = you=20 may know of that would be handy to such a project, please let us know. It is my hope that Peter and Stacy aren't too vexed by the arogance I=20 displayed with my past few postings, especially appealing for help with=20 servers without consulting either of them, and, as Stacy writes in an ear= lier=20 e-mail, that we can work together with instead of against each other. Als= o=20 with other projects out there that might be doing the same thing. I'd fee= l=20 very silly reinventing the wheel all the time if others have already put = alot=20 of work into this. It would be better to draw upon their input than to st= art=20 from scratch and most probably affront even more people in the process. Sorry for all of the misunderstandings and unpleasantness I have caused, = if=20 you feel like it, flames may be directed to will@unfoldings.net With the hope that this will mend some fences and un-burn some bridges...
