Requested by: David Wolfskill (david att catwhisker dott org)
New mailing list freebsd-toolchain. From the agenda of the list:
"This is the mailing list for discussions related to the maintenance of the
toolchain shipped with FreeBSD. This could include the state of Clang and GCC,
but also pieces of software such as assemblers, linkers and debuggers."
Requested by: David Wolfskill (david att catwhisker dott org)
FreeBSD community communication channel, and add a reference to web
forums.
Reword the paragraph about choosing the appropriate mailing list to
again de-emphasize USENET and encourage the user to choose the most
appropriate technical mailing list according to the charters.
Note that freebsd mailing list archives are kept in perpetuity, and
users with privacy conerns should consider using a disposable
secondary email address and only posting public information. [1]
Re-organize the "Web Resources" section into a new first section about
"Forums, Blogs, and Social Networks" with references to the FreeBSD
Forums, Planet FreeBSD, and the BSDConferences YouTube channel.
Move the long list of web mirrors to a second section appropriately
titled as such. The former section just listed many dozen mirrors of
www.freebsd.org under "web resources" which was less useful.
