Popularity is a big deal. I could never understand why this
organization (not community) was not aiming at getting more users and
supporters. I mean, this is the best OS I've ever seen. And while I
don't even remember how or when I first heard about it, I'm sure there
are thousands out there, who'd be glad to become FreeBSD fans, but
they just don't know anything about it. Just put a few nice pictures
and screenshots on the website, and people will get attracted.
Same thing with money. I don't want to order your CD's, cuz they can
get lost on their way, and if they don't, I won't be expecting them
until 50 days pass (that's how long I'd waited for The Complete
FreeBSD until it came). I just want to pay, say, $10 a month with a
Visa card. Not much, but I'm not alone. Look at Firefox - a much
smaller project can raise $100k in a week. Can't we?
Best wishes,

Thanks for valadating all the points I (and others) made in the
"FreeBSD's Visual Identity: Outdated?" thread, now if only we could get
core and the communty at large to recognise that it's a problem and
needs to be addressed.
