Thanks for valadating all the points I (and others) made in the "FreeBSD's Visual Identity: Outdated?"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.
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, Andrew P.
