This is essential.. that the site can handle a reasonable amount of load. Idially it would be best to have it hosted at freebsd.org, but I am not sure how this could be worked out, specially since the new site is running with MySQL. This point has been brought up before. Using MySQL gives the site more power/flexibility, but makes it more difficult to port, and on this case, to get approval to run on someone elses computer (i.e. freebsd.org). >Do you have people who have >offered to help at different levels ( like reviewing/auth'ing This is one of the reasons why SlashDot has suceeded. There is a team of people approving/trashing news. We need something simmilar up/front. Possibly a couple of categories: -Approvers. People who can approve articles/notes entered in the system. -Coders. People to enhance functionality. I don't think too much writing should be done in this site. Best coordinate articles with FreebsdZine or daemon news. >3.

Given the number of FreeBSD related news are not that frequent we may want to include other news of interest to the FreeBSD community. In particular I like the idea of reviewing a FreeBSD site per week. In particular smaller sites. Could be site with info about FreeBSD or sites running on FreeBSD.
