|With all due respect, XFree86 has its own methodologies for bug handling
|and ongoing development.  We have our own beta-test group (cross-platform),

I fully accept this position. When I finish this list it will 
a) provide a forum for people to discuss amongst people working in the
same areas.
b) provide a contact point for those who want to report bugs or
volunteer their time.

With regards XFree86 I consider that b) is still relevant. I've got mail
from a few XFree86 "core" people who are also involved in 386BSD. I will
include their addresses in the ist as the first point of contact for
queries regarding XFree86 under 386BSD. They will, I'm sure, then
re-direct the enquiries to the appropriate place.

The reason I want to include this is that hopefully, the list will
be the first place people look when they want to find out who to contact
about a particular area of the system.
