Is there a reasonably up-to-date list of active projects that are developed in a FreeBSD environment, or that target a FreeeBSD environment, or targets FreeBSD users?
I am pretty immersed in the FreeBSD world in terms of being an active user and having a server or two running year after year after year. I'm looking for a project to get involved in that is 1) understandable to a decent programmer, 2) open to newcomers 3) is actively developed, and 4) fits the FreeBSD criteria above. The reason for the FreeBSD criteria is that I'm not terribly interested in splitting time trying to understand differences between FreeBSD way of doing X and Whoever's way of doing X. I'm not ready to tackle anything kernel related - I tried working through McKusick's book and found it very difficult. However, I can usually code application level stuff in a good dozen different languages and can manage system level stuff, too, but I'm really struggling to find a starting place.
