The problem is not getting the info...I have that...it's organizing it in the right fashion so it makes sense to readers. Unfortunetly, I don't know SGML (but I can learn).

I'm going to put all of the stuff I have up right away and organize it the way I think it should be done. Nik Clayton (nik@freebsd.org) is the head of the Documentation project. He should be able to provide more guidance on howto proceed from there. Nick Rogness - Drive defensively. Buy a tank.
