Well ok if you CANT wait 6 days till its daemon news :-)
It is not perfect, probably has errors, but the BSD news guys will take
care of that. But this is what I sent them. Most of the layout was
suggested by brett glass, who had to spell a lot of things out for me
because english is not my main language anymore FreeBSD is.
I *think* the only thing brett wanted changed that I didnt change was the
o bullets section that listed new features. Brett said this should be
short sentences and to remove the bullets. But since it was slated for BSD
news only, I figured the readers were more intelligent than some PR guy at
CNet or PCMAG so I left them in. That needs to be considered if this PR is
used as a template in the future. But its a good starting block I think.
And hopefully now that we have something to build on, everytime "PR" is
mentioned we wont have to hash out what should and should not be in it,
just take this and modify it. Jordan gave the OK for it to be in BSD news
so i'm assuming that it's ok to post it here. If not im sure I'll here
about it.
