While I don't know exactly what the core teams feelings are exactly on the subject I'm sure they would like it if they weren't dragged into this also. I think it's a very good idea to let another group of FreeBSD heads run this site. After all, no one expects Linus to be running/coding/writing for Slashdot. I also think a new domain name would go along well with a new name in general. > > -- > Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> -- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu CSU Sacramento - Office Of Water Programs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
