I don't see anything here suggesting that Eric's looking for this
kind of material.  Have I missed something?  I'd certainly be prepared
to write up a document.  But I don't see any corresponding document
about Linux, for example.

On the other hand, I like the site.  They've got a lot of interesting
stuff there, stuff that makes Really Good Arguments for free software.
It's abundantly clear that FreBSD needs to participate in this effort.
Despite all that's been said, I don't see Eric as being Linux-centric
to the extent of partisanship, and ignoring things because you don't
like the people tends to be counterproductive.

Oh?  Were you busy? :-)
