I could see a number of ways to deal with this. Ideally this list would be integrated with the PR database. However this requires a lot of time on the part of people with access to the PR database. Another possibility is just "mailing list proposals". People ask on -questions if something could be implemented which gets a lot of positive responses. Someone notices and adds it to the list. Alternatively it could be used as a semi request - not everything the list will make it in - it would just be a starting point.

We have http://wiki.freebsd.org/WantedPorts for ports For instance, some folks (like linimon@) really need a junior person (I've > debated whether or not I should do it, but I don't want to assume too > much responsibility) to do semi-menial tasks like bug triage, > feedback, basic administration items, etc to free up Mark's time.

Agreed - I think that doing some small project on this list might be a good way to start. > Just curious... > Thanks, > -Garrett > _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
