    Paul's recent attempts with ports do count as "work for community",
    and FreeBSD isn't a pissing contest. He doesn't even need to "think
    he can't do" more: however small is his contribution in your eyes,
    it's a product of his good will, and is an effort donated to the
    benefit of us all.
    
    Please don't take away his enthusiasm from him when he's just
    started; for all I know, he might growing to become the next edwin,
    mcl or thierry.
