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! -Mark (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) > > Jordan > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The problem is how do you build tools that understand your programs at a deeper semantic level." - James Gosling To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
