Agreed except for s/NetBSD/FreeBSD/g in my case. NetBSD has nothing I'm really interested in, while FreeBSD does.

It might be reasonable to just work on both, and see what happens. I expect that any work done on one would probably be at least somewhat helpful to the other.

We haven't yet come up with wording for the announcement of the goals of the Debian GNU/BSD Project, including the provision that the Project has no plans to relicense BSD sources.

Somebody volunteered to be project coordinator, who was it?

As well as I understand it, the following goals are more or less settled:

Kernel is NetBSD.
Native file system is UFS; others later "if somebody does the work".
Boot loader is BSD's, initially; maybe Grub later "if ...".
Libc is NetBSD's unless/until somebody ports GNU libc; then maybe both.
Kernel-related utilities (ifconfig mount etc.) are from NetBSD.
File system layout is Debian/FHS.
Installer is custom.
Remaining packages are from the Debian source archives, patched as needed.
