Solved FreeBSD: support: web resources

[Cath O'Deray]

The web resources area is now:

• more relevant – no longer refers to Unix Guru Universe, and so on
• more discoverable – at the home page (in the Support menu)

People, can you think of anything that should be added to the web resources page?

For example, I half-expect a link to FreshPorts.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

dvl@ do you know, is FreshPorts already linked, prominently, from some other area of www.freebsd.org? (<https://www.freebsd.org/ja/ports/updating/> is obscure; mentions in quarterly reports are not a substitute for near-upfront awareness; and so on.)

• for results from across the network – Raspberry Pi, Unix & Linux, Super User, Stack Overflow, TeX - LaTeX and so on.

Any other suggestions?

Another collection of web resources appears when clicking the Community menu button. Some of these are support-oriented but maybe not (or not easily) found through the Support menu.

I'm with you with all except with The FreeBSD Diary. Do you think it's a good link? It's so stale. It's true that they posted two articles this year but except this two, the other are from 2011.

 

[Cath O'Deray]

Ha! I only glanced (very briefly) at some of those sites …

The FreeBSD Diary.

– same as you, I wrongly assumed that 9th June was this year:



Dates aside, I overlooked the most important aspect: the honourable dvl.

So, instead:

FreeBSD – Dan Langille's Other Diary

Also, maybe FreshSource -- the place for source, in particular:

Here's the working copy of what the home page might look like.

carlavilla I thought of one other resource, which is good for support, although it's quite unlike what's currently seen at <https://www.freebsd.org/support/webresources/>. I kept this one separate.
