--xHFwDpU9dbj6ez1V Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Here's an idea I just had (while pondering whether the x2x port is the most useful X tool ever): The ports collection is so large thesedays that it can be hard to find something unless you already have some idea about what you're looking for. However those of us who have been using FreeBSD for a while tend to have picked up a collection of ports that are now essential for our day-to-day FreeBSD use. It would be a nice project to publicize these a bit. For example, we could ask users to submit a write-up of ports that they find remarkable or useful, explaining briefly what the port does and why it's cool or useful to them. Once a month or so a selection of these could be posted on the website. This project would need one or more coordinators, to solicit submissions from users as needed, select the items for publication and update the webpages. Is anyone interested in taking this on?
