From doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/preface/preface.sgml :

      <term><emphasis>Chapter 1, Introduction</emphasis></term>
      <listitem>
	<para>Introduces FreeBSD to a new user.  It describes the
	history of the FreeBSD Project, the goals, development model,
	and everything else they've done for the FreeBSD project.</para>
      </listitem>

Does anybody else want to join me in a rousing chorus of "What?!" ?
The last line doesn't seem to make any sense whatsoever, and I can't fathom
what it's trying to get at.

If anyone does know what that text wants to say, could they fix it, otherwise
how about the following patch ?
