Okay, let me tighten up my proposal slightly after receiving a few comments: Document Title: "A Newbie's Guide to the Ports Collection" Sections: One for each ports category. Subsections where appropriate, such as web browsers and email under net. Also meta-sections where appropriate, such as office suites. Under each section there should be two entries for each of "beginning", "intermediate" and "advanced". An individual package can be in more than one section. Packages should have one or two comments by users, and a description. Links to additional information are encouraged. Ratings on the order of "ease of use", "raw power", "geek factor", etc. are a possibility. I don't want any overall ratings. I would limit it to packages available on the FreeBSD CD's. As for hosting this document, I can easily do it, and would place it under a BSD or freer license for all to use, post and modify. I'm not that great with dynamic content and stuff, and I don't have a public cvs server, but I can do it up in DocBook.
