Also, it would be great to split up the handbook into say: o User Guide - This will allow us to fill this guide with more user centric content, on various things such as "IRC on FreeBSD", and the jazz.. o Admin Guide - This will allow us to fill it with more information on the various chapters we have got on administrations, such as vinum, ccd, also performance tuning. And also to convert some articles into (admin) handbook chapters such as the java-tomcat article, which murray pointed out a short while ago, and the like. So, its a hands up from this end as well. Although this would take quite a while to accomplish. :) -- Hiten Pandya Finger hiten@storm.uk.FreeBSD.org for PGP public key --- 4FB9 C4A9 4925 CF97 9BF3 ADDA 861D 5DBD E4E3 03C3 --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
