Who is responsible for the ReadMe files on the FreeBSD FTP site?? My reason for asking is a problem I had that could have easily been avoided with a couple extra lines of explanation in a particular ReadMe. I'm aware of a number of associates who have experienced the exact same problem but haven't persisted in the search for answers as much as I have. I'm certain that many of the regular questions posted to the various mailing lists could be avoided if there was a mechanism to provide more explicit information on potential areas of confusion, thus reducing the number of "trivial" questions posted to the mailing lists. The manual & the Complete FreeBSD do a very good job in many areas, but unfortunately there will always be issues that aren't covered explicitly enough for newbies, and its obviously a waste of resources for the experts to spend time answering questions that could have been avoided had sufficient information been provided elsewhere in a readily visible form.
