With "BOINC" , people are trying to solve very complex problems by
contributing as much as what they can do to solve its parts .

A similar structure may be established for FreeBSD .

As an example , booting in virtual machine may be possible , but in a real
machine may not work .
Some main boards may work , but others may not work .

The FreeBSD project can not establish a very large testing farm .

People wanting to participate may contribute very much .

Every one will not test every thing .

For that reason a database will be constructed at the beginning to contain
( user , parts can be tested ). When a test is required , by querying the
database , a message will be send to the prospective users to inform them
about the tests .

The users will apply tests and return the results .

At present , there are "call for testing" messages . In such an organized
community , such messages will produce much more structured and effective
results .


Thank you very much .
