Re: Future of FreeBSD

On your site, you talk about what you hope to achieve if you reach the 
required funding level.

Could you, for those such as myself, explain in 
'I'm-a-web-dev-and-I-call-myself-a-tech-guy-the-damn-cheek' terms 
(that's one step above layman's terms) what some of the infrastructure 
improvements mean.

Such as: what is the "Giant" lock?

(I have read the section in your 'really long version', but, well... I'm 
a web-dev. I can write you a nice, standards-compliant website, but I 
don't have a clue what all the serious terms in your document mean. I 
did teach myself C when I was fourteen, but found little use for it at 
school, and it rusted away.)

Just a few paragraphs on the current problems and potential results 
would be very interesting.
