To: doc@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 26 Apr 1995 16:53:00 -0400 (EDT) Content-Type: text Content-Length: 811 Sender: doc-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk We have one hole in our documentation that you could sail an ocean liner through. We need an "Introduction to the source code" section for those who are familar/bored with use and administration of unix systems and want to get under the hood and start tinkering. This document should cover the organization of the source code and how it all works with bmake. Philosophical issues should should be included. This would also be an excellent place to point out good starting points for would be tinkerers. (hint: point them at things that need to be fixed!!) This could either incorporate, or be an introduction to a kernel hackers guide. Any takers? -john === jfieber@cs.smith.edu ================================================ =================================== Come up and be a kite! --K. Bush ===
