- be true to the title of the page
- there is no Marketing person, or team
- Bugmeisters (plural), and so on.
For general questions:
- freebsd-questions@ in isolation is too exclusive
- draw attention to other community options.
For documentation suggestions:
- do not publicise the freebsd-doc@ mailto address alone, without also
hinting about subscriptions
- do not overlook the GitHub approach to edition.
