Description Paul Telles (Starcat) 2024-05-22 13:33:43 UTC 
Frequently Asked Questions for FreeBSD -> 1.5. Who is responsible for FreeBSD?

The second paragraph states, "The key decisions concerning the FreeBSD project, such as the overall direction of the project or who is allowed to add code to the source tree, are made by a [sic] elected Core Team of 9 people."

I recommend that the Core Team reference be changed to read, "an elected Core Team of nine people."

The prevailing style in technical writing is to write out numbers under ten. However, this is not explicitly addressed by the FreeBSD documentation project primer.
