I know you're probably sick of me saying this, but I'll say it anyway. The FreeBSD Documentation Project desperately needs volunteers and contributions of material! John has really made some significant strides lately with the handbook (see http://www.freebsd.org) but can't keep that kind of momentum going without solid contributions from the user community. Contributions also need not be something earth-shatteringly involved or difficult as any level of contribution is welcomed, from simple proof-reading to entire manuals. Have you been using FreeBSD for anything interesting in your daily work, or have any testimonials to share about your experiences with FreeBSD? Check out http://freefall.cdrom.com/What/uses.html and submit your own entry! There are only *four* entries there, and I'm quite positive that there are more than 4 people world-wide with something nice to say about FreeBSD! :-) It takes just a few minutes to jot down a testimonial, and those of you who like to see your names in print will also get that privilege for a very small investment! :) Feeling generous? Write a short tutorial on something you've done recently in FreeBSD that you found difficult yet doesn't seem to be described anywhere. If 1/100'th of the people using FreeBSD submitted such tutorials, we'd soon have every single aspect of the system completely documented! I'm sure many of you feel positive about FreeBSD, so consider this a chance to give just a little back. We're not asking for a book, just a couple of pages! :-) Have even less time than this? Then take just a few minutes to browse the web pages and send your comments and/or corrections to www@freebsd.org. I'm sure John will appreciate it! Finally, for all you artists or GIF pack-rats out there, the pages could use a few more images! We're not going to go image-crazy here (you folks in Europe can relax again :-) but it'd be nice to have a pool of artwork available for the occasional bit of sprucing up. Artwork that makes a nice logo for some existing web page is also always welcome. A daemon reading a book could, for example, be at the top of the FAQ page. We recently received a picture of a daemon with his tail on fire and a long fuse going to a bomb, which we'll use for the bug reporting page (when it appears). You get the idea, I'm sure! :-) Above all, remember: The FreeBSD web pages are YOUR resource, and only you can help make them a better one. Thanks!! Jordan
