As a friend told me a month ago when I mentioned dntpd:  "WTF are you

    keeping that to yourself?  Nobody knows it exists except you!".  Hmm.

    I thought about that a bit and he's absolutely right!


    I have added an Exports section to the main web site for subsystems we

    wish to advertise and make available to other projects.  I added a

    section for HAMMER.


    But we have a few other subsystems that other projects might be

    interested in.. well, at least one, that being dntpd, and probably

    more as time goes on.


    Would someone like to take on the responsibility of building out the

    Exports section?  We need to make a description of the projects available

    as well as provide links to manual pages, cvs, and tar distributions

    of the sources.

Not quite, but very close.

Would it be worth calling it "Software"?  Exports is ambiguous.

"Software" would potentially cover pkgsrc, which is something we need to

cover more, too.


I agree, though.  We do have a number of utilities that are not

immediately obvious, and need more descriptive terminology attached.
