There are several applications that run on Linux that I would like to see on FreeBSD (Martin Tile Server, and FreeCAD come to mind).
However, even though I have read the documentation for ports and packages... it's really not sinking in. What would be helpful would be a video where a newbie (like me) is interacting with someone who actually knows FreeBSD and how to do this.
In the video, the veteran user can guide the new user through the process of:
* creating a port/package
* using poudriere
Other ideas where this might also be useful:
* installing a desktop environment
* installing audio and video drivers
* installing a VPN
* configuring a firewall
I've figured out the last four on this list. And I've figured out how to use `pkg` for my simple use cases. But becoming a maintainer and publishing a new port/package...
