We have a relatively low volume list for mail sent to
www@netbsd.org. We're looking for people willing to handle
responses to this list for a week or so at a time. You'll be on
the list all the time, but you only have to answer the email for
short periods :)
The work basically involves replying to each message with one of:
a) Pointing them at an FAQ (Hopefully this will become a
larger proportion as the FAQs grow...)
b) Answering the question directly (and ideally sending in another
entry for an FAQ)
c) Forwarding them to a more appropriate list (port-sparc, etc).
d) Punting and forwarding it to someone else (maybe me :) to
answer (or not be able to answer :).
Mayby not the most glamorous of aspects of helping NetBSD, but
definitely an important aspect advocacy wise - you will be having
to respond to vendors as well as users on occasions.
If anyone is interested... drop me a line.
