What I have found is that there is much to be done to make freebsd easier to use and just as much to have good documentation. I have two more weeks reamaining in this semester at school, but after that I want to help with the documentation. I bought myself the "Unix companion" and am reading a little bit every day to get myself up to speed. What I would prefer best to work on is documents that need revising so I could try the explanations and improve/correct them. An example of this are the manual sections in PPP. It has taken me a long time (much longer than I have enjoyed) to get my FreeBSD to connect to the internet and even then I have to use the "term" (don't recall if that is the right word) mode to dial. I have also noticed that many of the the man pages are not very good or unclear. I could work on those too. Needless to say I am not all that familiar with Unix, but I am starting to get the basics rather well. Later on I am algo going to try the xform gui building tool I just saw announced in FreeBSD.announce. Who knows some day I may even be able to contribute to the cause with some coding. :) From owner-freebsd-doc Sat May 11 22:12:20 1996 Return-Path: owner-doc Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA23433 for doc-outgoing; Sat, 11 May 1996 22:12:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from i-2000.com (root@i-2000.com [204.97.92.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA23428 for ; Sat, 11 May 1996 22:12:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freyes.dh.i-2000.com (slip166-72-219-68.ny.us.ibm.net [166.72.219.68]) by i-2000.com (8.7.5/8.7) with SMTP id BAA19423 for ; Sun, 12 May 1996 01:12:25 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199605120512.BAA19423@i-2000.com> From: "Francisco Reyes" To: "FreeBSD documentation mailing list" Date: Sun, 12 May 96 01:11:01 -0400 Reply-To: "freyes@i-2000.com" Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Reginald Francois's Registered PMMail 1.5 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: WEB page could use update.
