A collaborative, short-term open source authoring project to quickly write 
a book covering the basics from the 2005 BSDA Certification Requirements 
Document was recently started. The BSD Certification Group's BSDA (BSD 
Associate) Certification is for BSD Unix system administrators with light 
to moderate skills.

Using a wiki interface, authors, reviewers and readers are currently 
contributing to complete the book by the end of February. This bsdwiki 
contains over a hundred pages each with the topics defined by the BSD 
Certification Group.

A PDF in book format is periodically generated from this BSD-licensed wiki 
content.

To contribute, please join at http://bsdwiki.reedmedia.net/.
