This has come up a few times before. I am very sceptical of projects that have a website before they have code. Next we are going to be posting DebianBSD 0.0.1 to freshmeat. :)
That said, I personally have a backburner project to set up a web server and a cvs repository at debianbsd.org. There are two projects head of it though, which means the end of September is a likely timeframe. They way I plan to build the website is to go through the archives and at the same time as I am spinning up to precisely what everyone has done, write it down for others to read. Our own top level domain, for now, seems superior to being hosted of debian.org. Many of the people doing a lot of the work have not yet gone through the process of becoming Debian developers (though I am thinking of doing that in the near future). We are not really official yet, not really real. These arguments aren't that coherent I suppose. People are always welcome to run off and get stuff done over any objections the mailing list has, since most of us are useless and at best talk about how we might contribute in the future. But I think what I suggest is the best thing to be doing. tibbetts On Sat, Aug 18, 2001 at 03:55:49PM +0200, Arnout Engelen wrote: > I once heard about debian-bsd, and went looking for it.
