Vaaf,
14,187 ports...
<http://www.freebsd.org/ports/>http://www.freebsd.org/ports/. Sounds
like a good idea to me. What kind of help are you looking for?

Hey!
There are about 10.000 ports, am I right?
Not all FreeBSD users have the time to go through all
of the package descriptions. But definitely all FreeBSD users
have their share of favorite ports, and are interested in
finding new ports that may compliment their lives.
Not is the ports collection already too big for the average
human intellect. It also continues to span. New programs
appear on a daily basis, however there's nothing to
grasp their presence and determine their quality
I see this as a chance to promote FreeBSD to desktop
users, which is what this project lacks. It has everything to
make it superior to all the other open source operating
systems, but nothing to really let it out in the open.
Imagine a FreeBSD ports blog that tries to gather data
on the most popular ports, sorted by ratings, downloads etc.
In addition, it posts articles every now and then telling
people about recent discoveries made among all the 10.000
ports. This could be a great thing!
I am aware of <http://freshports.org>freshports.org, this would be
totally different.
I know a thing or two about design, and could make the
site look something like <http://lounge72.com>lounge72.com or
<http://linkdup.com>linkdup.com.
I have high speed hosting all standing by. A splendid name
for it as well :D
So, who's game? :)
All the best,
Vaaf

Hey David!
Thank you for such urgent response.
We need someone to do the coding, XHTML/CSS, though some Ruby
and Ajax too wouldn't hurt, so we can have a decent system in the back,
and in the front be able to present information in a very intuitive way.
Then, we'd need lots of members to write articles, rate ports and such.
I'd have to come up with some wording. And ofcourse a design.
Thank you so much for your interest!
Speak to you soon,
Vaaf
