    Well there are certainly some very good candidates in the election.

    Pity regular BSD users can't register and have a vote, even if it was only worth 1/100 of that by a committer.

    It is really interesting to see the views of all the candidates. Is there a page that shows the views of all the current core members, like where they want to see the project heading, what they specialise in, what their background is?

    2 days ago when the article was published there was no page saying:

    This site is intended for the private use of the FreeBSD committer team. As such, it was not placed on a server capable of handling the interest of the world at large.

    It just had a list of candidates, and a long list of their values, views, life and programming experiences etc. Was very informative. I think it should have been open for public viewing. I guess they just didn't like having an open slashdot link going to it. If the original page would have noted that it was a private page for committers only then that would be different. It does now, but that was at least a day late.
