Thanks for the status update, take all the time you need... All I ask is you keep the community in the loop. Have you thought about putting up a page on the website where FreeBSD committers and core members can easily post news, such as this, in an informal and/or casual manner?... wiki, blog, etc. Anyhow, Thanks for responding to my inquiry. -- BSD Podcasts @ http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
