23.1.

How do I add a new file to a branch?

To add a file onto a branch, simply checkout or update to the branch you want to add to and then add the file using the add operation as you normally would. This works fine for the doc and ports trees. The src tree uses SVN and requires more care because of the mergeinfo properties. See the Subversion Primer for details on how to perform an MFC.

23.2.

How do I access people.FreeBSD.org to put up personal or project information?

people.FreeBSD.org is the same as freefall.FreeBSD.org. Just create a public_html directory. Anything you place in that directory will automatically be visible under https://people.FreeBSD.org/.

23.3.

Where are the mailing list archives stored?

The mailing lists are archived under /local/mail on freefall.FreeBSD.org.

23.4.

I would like to mentor a new committer. What process do I need to follow?

See the New Account Creation Procedure document on the internal pages.
