I am pretty new to FreeBSD, having recently migrated from three years as a Linux user. For one prodigious reason or another, I have somewhat found myself taken with FreeBSD--perchance because I have finally escaped the old "shit, what'd I do? I don't now! Hell, let's just install Redhat again and everything will work" scenario. Anyway, I am about to go ahead and install 4.9-PRERELEASE on my main box here at home, and am wondering what kind of help the docProject needs. Does 4.9 need work? I have several years experience as a writer and editor, thus this seems to be the best place to offer my skills and finally find involvement in the Open Source community. I do not know much of how you guys do what you do, but would really like to learn and serve as an editor for documentation, and possibly write when I know more. I am pretty good at communicating difficult subject matter to a rather uninformed/underinformed audience, and would love to help ensure that the docs w hich are out there are fairly straightforward for the "newbie." Anyway, I have spoken enough. Waiting for direction. Esse quam videri, Bob Waycott
