It's quite possible that you'll get answers from one of these types of people via your first post; however, it might be more likely to happen if you'd post the message to the advocacy@ list, possibly the chat@ list, or perhaps even the hackers@ list. However, I'd check the charter for hackers@ before sending it there. (I don't read that one) I'm sure you can find mailing list charters on the freebsd.org web site (IIRC, there's one in the handbook, among other places.) Now, all that said, realize that I'm just a "fan" or "general population user" of FreeBSD, and have no official relationship with the project other than occasional 'evangelism'.

Chris- As stated in my original request, I am looking for comments from developers regarding the development process and theory. If this list is not able to provide that or if I've written to the wrong list, kindly direct me to a press contact or someone who will offer a comment.

I dunno - but it seems to me that if someone, or some entity is going to write a review, the review is based on the reviewers experiance. to me, anything else would be considered hear-say, and really not a review at all. More, an opinion from other sources. That being said, the sources paraphrased would not represent a fair review in the othe camps eye. I might suggest simply doing a head to head eval of a distro of Linux, give it 30 days, then do the same with FBSD. Then, and only then (in my eyes) could you actually, and fairly write a review. Just my 2 pennies.
