Default Freebsd Related to PC-Bsd
Is their relationship between FreeBSD and PC-BSD? I mean are the FreeBSD team members involved in PC-BSD or is PC-BSD independent (I know that PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD).

PC-BSD is downstream of FreeBSD.

It's analogous to Mint being downstream from Debian.

Some PC-BSD committers are also FreeBSD committers or developers.

It's a common mistake. I knew what you meant based on the context.

here you can find the main developers for PCBSD, while here a complete list of FreeBSD committers.
As already pointed out, the two projects are collaborating, so pieces of code done under PCBSD can be backported to FreeBSD, even if usually it is PCBSD that takes advantage over FreeBSD! And developers can work on both sides.

To bump this back towards the topic, I heard the PC-BSD devs were working on a new installer that also had the option of installing vanilla FreeBSD.
Since they already have a ZFS installer, the new one should also, and would simplify installing FreeBSD on ZFS.

Yes, the pcsysinstall tool is able to install either a PCBSD or a FreeBSD and provides a lot of automation and scripting. I've not yet compared to bsdinstall.
