Not speaking for the Project as a whole, but merely for myself: yes, such a guide would definitely help! Is this Guide accessible somewhere on the Web already? I see that the TLDP's projected date for its publication - March 1st - is coming close, so this may not be such a big issue. Ideally, we would welcome contributions written in SGML DocBook; however, as has been demonstrated many times in the past, HTML or even plain text is just fine - a contributor will always be able to find a committer willing to convert the document into DocBook. In this case, it may very well turn out that I will be willing to do that :) It might help if the Documentation Project members could take a look at the Guide itself; could you put it up on the Web somewhere, or should we just wait for March 1st? :) No matter how this issue turns out (and I trust that it will turn out just fine, with your Guide being included into the FreeBSD Documentation Project soon), thanks a lot for your contribution!
