1. Remove the "Download instructions"
- The mentioned site is not updated any longer so it's just
confusing for newbies.
- Most newbies don't download via FTP. Even if they
do, they will normally download the ISO-images, not the
different distributions.
- www/en/where.sgml already describes how to get FreeBSD
and is up-to-date.
2. "The Complete FreeBSD"
- This book can be downloaded free of charge since 2006 from
http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/. So link to
this site.
3. article "new-users".
- It has been in the doc-tree for a long time now. So link
to it.
- The docs at the also mentioned FTP-site are outdated.
Recent versions are available from the FreeBSD.org servers
(just like the article itself).
Discussed with/approved by: remko@ (mentor)
- remove SoC marker from items which are not taken in the current SoC
- remove the "suitable" from the SoC markup and replace it with being
a part of
- update TMPFS (some people are working on it), pluggable disk schedulers
(additional info) and umem (available in ports)
listed.
Also, remove the now out of date information about potential mentors,
project ideas, and FAQ about the program. The main summerofcode page
now just links to the 2007 page or the previous 2005 and 2006 pages.
1) Collect the pkg-message output in dependencies and display it after the
build finish
2) Parallelization of the Ports Collection (this one is suitable as SoC
project)
3) UPDATING parser, kind of a junior task
4) portupgrade in base thing

Also change technical contact for COMPAT_43TTY task to Ed Maste, who's actively
working on it.
utility." cperciva acts as technical contact for the freebsd-update part of
the project, but it would be nice to have someone with experience from
writing GNOME/KDE applications as a technical contact/mentor as well.

extract ideas from the ideas list which include the class='soc'
attribute. Display the title of those projects which are deemed
suitable for summer of code projects and then link to the ideas page
for the full description, technical contacts, requirements, etc.
source and extract and display the projects listed here in multiple
ways. For example, those projects that are suitable for summer of
code can be designated with an attribute and then extracted to
automatically be displayed on the summer of code pages, so that we
only have to maintain one list instead of two.
Correct a typo in one of the idea descriptions while here.
