Thanks for the status update, take all the time you need... All I ask
is you keep the community in the loop.

Have you thought about putting up a page on the website where FreeBSD
committers and core members can easily post news, such as this, in an
informal and/or casual manner?... wiki, blog, etc.

Anyhow,

Thanks for responding to my inquiry.
