Hubbard) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Why The FreeBSD Team is slow to answer questions Date: 18 Nov 1994 03:28:41 GMT Organization: Walnut Creek CDROM Lines: 26 Message-ID: <JKH.94Nov17192841@freefall.cdrom.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: freefall.cdrom.com I just wanted to let all of you know that answering your questions remains an important task for us, but we're more than a little snowed under at the moment with the 2.0 ALPHA, BETA and RELEASE cycles! Our schedule for 2.0 is *very* aggressive, and it leaves very little time for anything else. As this time compression affects our developers, their time for reading USENET and then questions@freebsd.org shrinks accordingly, so try questions@freebsd.org *first* if you want to have a hope of getting any kind of response at all! We definitely haven't decided to blow all of you off, or think that your questions are unimportant, it's just a simply fact of life that there are only 24 hours in a day and most of us are already running on 4-6 hours of sleep a night already (I'm happy to get 4, personally :-). I'm also not asking for violins, simply an understanding that this is a very very busy time for us and I have every hope that we'll be able to return to tech support issues just as soon as 2.0R is out the door and we have a chance to catch our collective breath! I, for one, plan to sleep for at least a week. :-) Thanks. Jordan
