Hi,
    In order to bring contributors up to speed on how to interact with
FreeBSD, I want to document some of the items that aren't really noted in
the FreeBSD developers or committers handbook. Some topics that come to
mind are "How do I do a precommit build?" (tinderbox, etc), "How do I test
my changes?" (there's a chapter, but it's not helpful), "How do I get
involved with the project?", "How do I build quickly?", "What are mtree
files?", etc.
    I was wondering if a) there are any other developers interested in this
effort, b) where it should go (in the dev handbook?), and c) who would be
interested in reviewing the work? I'd like to put it up on the wiki first
(as I'm not an SGML wizard) and put it in SGML eventually, but I need
feedback on whether or not this is doable.
Thanks!
-Garrett
