If we adopt this philosophy then we might as well just dump FreeBSD and go work on something else. There are lots of things in FreeBSD that are undocumented. Documentation is unfortuantely the thing that usually happens last and we tend to do it in our copious free time (which is rare these days). I'm strongly in favor of documentation, so I welcome you or anyone else's contribution in the documentation area. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
