Giving something a try has never hurt anyone, but sucess in this case
will help possibly a few thousand! And, we could certainly use your
help. You are not required to be a perfect writer to contribute
information to this project, just the willingness to help fellow
FreeBSD users. If you would like to take the time, we will take the
time, and hopefully by the end we will be able to welcome a new
chapter.
Thanks alot for the offer!
