If Maho approves, I have some suggestions:
To the end of the first paragraph add " Maintaining this new port
in Apache source tree helps improve the overall portability of
the system and provides another valuable testing environment."
The second paragraph, may sound better "FreeBSD is a free operating
system based on Berkeley's 4.4 BSD source release." Add a last sentence
in that paragraph: "Since the origins of the Internet it has been known
to break ftp performance records and power important sites like Yahoo,
Hotmail and the ASF infrastructure."
change (old) OpenOffice.org --> legacy OpenOffice.org
Instead of MN and PG --> maho@ and pfg@
The FreeBSD team did not create fork. --> The FreeBSD team did not fork.
Perhaps add "In FreeBSD, OpenOffice and LibreOffice porters share their
efforts
in a common mailing list: [email protected].
The "Notably, Jung-uk Kim ..." line should be moved to the end of the
"Historically," paragraph.
"Technically, porting is not difficult." --> "Technically, porting has
not been very difficult.".
After " ... linux and FreeBSD are very similar", I would add "MacOSX and
FreeBSD also
share many similarities which have helped improve both ports."
I would put that paragraph before the "Since the OpenOffice project
migrated".
Maybe we could get photographs of Maho and Pedro as well?
Maybe just Maho's since he is the one signing ;).
cheers,
Pedro.
