I've been very impressed/pleased with kerneltrap's coverage of FreeBSD. We ought to do a better job of submitting stuff to them -- it looked like a lot of the articles were the result of watching hackers, so one thing we could do is encourage developers to send occasional "here's what's going on with <foo>" to hackers/current@. For example, I'd love to see an NDIS summary post to both lists explaining where things stand so it gets picked up as an article.
