Tell me more about taking part in the FreeBSD documentation project. I
may have a few items to contribute.
Immediately available are some hints on PPP configuration (the result of
some work I did on my own home page) and on the configuration of E-mail
systems for users of dial-up IP accounts.
I have in the not-too-distant past written and published (in Dutch, for
limited circulation) on the configuration of printer spoolers. I have
also written in English and in Dutch about the installation and
maintenance of uucp. I'd be willing to assist in preparing a chapter on
PC Cards.
Things I cannot write about include the weird and magic goings-on inside
the kernel, name servers, routing and SCSI.
I suppose that you have guidelines for writing documentation; I'd
appreciate a copy if you think I can help.
Some background:
I am considerably older than Bill Gates and I have been playing around
with Unix for ~7 years, on Altos-68K, Xenix-386, SVR4 (Consensys, >
/dev/trash), Linux and FreeBSD (starting from 2.0). I made the switch
from Linux to BSD because, while I'm always ready to tolerate or even
encourage a measure of anarchy, I do not always enjoy the resulting
mess.
I have little formal training in CS and am not employed in this
industry. I just happen to like computers as long as they run Unix. I
cannot be bothered to learn C++ and program, if and when necessary, in
C, Perl or (preferably) Tcl.
cheers
