Just a quick note (it's tax time in America and I am supposed to be calculating some weird thing): --I don't think there's any vision of what FreeBSD documentation ought to look like in, say, a year or two...maybe the manual pages/FAQ/ handbook/other stuff as needed is okay, then again maybe before a lot of work is done we ought to consider where we would like to go (Jordan has a MiniFaq on Usenet) --It seems to me that one useful feature of a documentation system in this rapidly changing world would be a way to manage multiple documents from different sources (e.g., documents or articles mailed or saved to a file from Usenet, mailing lists, web pages, ftp sites) that may relate to the same topic. (I have a pretty good way to do this in dos but nothing really equivalent in unix....at least not that I know of.) --There seems not to be anyone in charge, who functions as the interface between the core team and the rest of the world and has enough authority to make some decisions. --The one part of the whole documentation project that seems to have direction and make progress is the uh, what do you call it, creating documents in sgml and being able to produce them in any other format. This is going well, but it's only one piece of the puzzle (although an interesting one).
