Hello folks,

I've saw a reference to current.FreeBSD.org while translating
articles/contributing.  There is already an open PR about this
(docs/38039), and I think it's a good idea to refer to the
snapshots.jp.FreeBSD.org machines instead of current.FreeBSD.org
(which is down for a while now).

What do you all think of the following changeset?
You can also find it at:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/~keramida/diff/for.review/2002-06-23.jp-snap,aa

Let me know what you think... I don't like having broken links in the
article that explains how people can contribute to FreeBSD, but if you
have some better idea, then now is the time; please let us all know.
