After reading PHK’s Why Bother? article, I wondered about the goals of the FreeBSD project. I found them in the handbook “1.3.2 FreeBSD Project Goals” These appear to be unchanged since 1998 and probably earlier. I think it would be helpful to launch a new thread (similar to a recent one in freebsd-advocacy ) publicly discussing the project’s goals. I plan to post a link to this blog entry to this mailing list and to BSDNews.com to encourage discussion.”]
