There are problems with this approach. The biggest one is that this makes the site much more harder to mirror. >I guess i will start by saying that I am willing to >donate a considerable ammount of time to working on >this project. So why not take 2 to 4 hours to go over the Doc primer and learn how to submit work to the Doc project. Then submit new docs or improvements to existing docs. >If anyone else is interested in helping out send me an >email with subject "FreeBSD Portal Volunteer" and once >we reach a sufficient ammount of volunteers.
