    - 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.
