A note for the future: you will tend to receive more submissions if you will make life a lot easier for submitter. The most natural way of using the aforementioned Web form - as, surprise, a Web form (BTW, the field to type in is too small and thus uncomfortable). That is, result of clicking "Submit" button must be immediately sending info to central base, requiring no further work from submitter to cut-n-paste the thing to e-mail. This is just frightening to everyone who is not a FreeBSD committer, with regard to needing to send this info to another e-mail which it suggests! (I was told that in IRC, and fro where has the Joe Random Contributor to know this?) We will have more docs when a contributor is not forced to efforts which are unneeded. Having to do such things which could be easily done on server-side looks just too unpolite for those who came in - and some of them will turn away from sending. P.S. This is general principle, not only for docs - forcing user to do something which could be already done by maintainer turns away from the system many of them. -- WBR, Vadim Goncharov.
