Freebsd-Devel
I was looking at the mailing list, and I couldn't find a "freebsd-devel" list, though I thought I heard of one's existance. What am I missing here? I'm looking here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL Thanks, -Jim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There are lots of FreeBSD mailing lists oriented towards developers, but they tend to be focussed on a specific area (freebsd-net, -ipfw, - ip, etc...aka the "technical lists"). Perhaps you want freebsd- hackers...? -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm looking here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL FreeBSD development covers a wide range of issues, so there are multiple mailing lists each of which covers some aspect of freebsd development. There are two main branches of development for the operating system itself, and each has it's own mailing list. The "bleeding-edge" development happens in the branch known as freebsd-current, while the more-tested branch is called freebsd-stable. And there's a mailing list for each of those. The freebsd-hackers mailing list is another busy mailing list which covers a lot of other issues about programming on FreeBSD. Almost all of the mailing lists which you see listed on the above web page are related to *some* aspect of freebsd development. Which mailing list you would like depends on what kind of development you are interested in. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Freebsd-Devel
I understand that. If you have the time, ability, and willingness to do actually do the work, then you'll be doing a lot of people a big service. But don't kid yourself, it will take a lot of work. It isn't something that you're going to write in an afternoon. It will take months to do a decent job. Months of work. Months of people saying that whatever you're doing, you are certainly doing it wrong. Months of people who are doing things that you personally do not need, and who you will eventually hate because they keep asking for features that you personally don't want (or need) to write. Sadly, the willingness is the only one of the three I have.
