Hello there, I am looking for volunteers who are interested in writing documentation, i.e. working with the FreeBSD Handbook and the documentation set. Many of our great documentation writers have decided to retire from their work over the last years, which means the FreeBSD Documentation Project is in need of talented, skilled, determined, and ambitious people who would help to maintain the tradition of producing high quality documentation for the FreeBSD operating system. The documentation set is prepared in DocBook that might seem a bit complicated at first sight, but I can assure you it can be learned quickly. All you need is good writing skills in English, some knowledge of FreeBSD systems, and willingness to learn even more about them. To coordinate and encourage the efforts, I have created a site [1] called "The FreeBSD Contributor's Documentation Project" that contains the necessary information. Note that there are many ways of contribution: you can comment open Problem Reports or write patches (by using Mercurial Queues for example), etc. depending on your free time. I can help with anything at the regular weekly IRC meetings, and you can contact me via email directly any time, and hopefully other documentation developers will also join me. Thank you for any help in advance. :g [1] http://doc.hu.freebsd.org/
