If I ever finish the damned thing, the online project database I've
half coded up should work really well for coordinating initiatives like
this one.

I'm always available to help out with stuff like this. I can provide
accounts on a box with decent bandwidth to those people who are
genuinely interested in working with the docs, and as the co-author of
the "other major documentation project"  (www.vmunix.com/fbsd-book/)
I can help get the Tutorial fitting into place correctly.

I believe Chris sent John Feiber the diffs to get our Tutorial in for
the 2.2.6CD, and I saw a nice indexed version that John did of our stuff
that looked really good. So I'm assuming that the tutorial is part of
the CD.. :)

My only problem right now is time... I'm taking 6 courses and working
20 hours per week to pay for those courses.. not a whole lot of free time.
Otherwise, if you bug me enough, I can generally be enticed to actually
spend time on the docs and help out. Just ask Chris - when he yells at
me and makes me feel guilty for accomplishing so little, I almost always
produce ;-)

So tell me which of the .TXT docs I should look at first!

(the other major hump I've hit is that I'm out of disk space on my
server, which has made completing the online project database
impossible... argh.. I should have some extra $$ sometime to slap
a disk on there for /home)
