Howdy folks,

Here's the latest news on the handbook rewriting/restructuring.  Sorry
for the no-update last week, but there wasn't much to report on due to
holidays, vacations, etc..

What's done:

  o Chapter 2 - Install (I committed this earlier this evening)

  o Chapter 4 - Ports

  o Chapter 16 - Advanced Networking (YP/NIS section) [1]

  o Chapter 17 - Electronic Mail

What's being worked on:

  o Chapter 7 - Printing - Joel Sutton <jsutton@bbcon.com.au>

  o Chapter 15 - PPP (PPPoE section) - myself <jim@FreeBSD.org>

  o Chapter 16 - Advanced Networking (DNS section) - Nick Esborn
		 <nick@flatlan.net> [1]

On another note, Bill Swingle <unfurl@FreeBSD.org> will also be taking
on another section starting next week sometime when he returns from
vacation.  I'll keep everyone posted as to what that is as soon as I
know.

We've also just brought Greg Sutter <gsutter@cdrom.com> on board to help
out with the handbook as well.  For those of you who don't know Greg,
he's the guy responsible for the Daemon News layout and can be found on
various FreeBSD.org mailing lists.  He's busily brushing up on his
DocBook skills and we all should be seeing some good stuff out of him
soon.  Welcome aboard :-)

One last thing of note, I have somewhat of a rough todo list available
for those interested.. http://www.freebsd.org/~jim/handbook/handbook.todo
It's not very in depth, but it should provide a general idea of what
we're hoping to accomplish.

[1] I'll be getting to the Advanced Networking chapter as soon as I'm
    finished with the PPPoE section of Chapter 15 I'll be starting work
    on tonight or tomorrow.  I'll definitely be committing the YP/NIS
    section with the restructuring of that chapter and will also commit
    the DNS section at that time if it's complete.
