	I started (last night) outlining a lot of my notes.  They are on
	paper write now.  But I will have them converted to text files by
	the end of this weekend.  The problem is not getting the info...I
	have that...it's organizing it in the right fashion so it makes
	sense to readers.  Unfortunetly, I don't know SGML (but I can
	learn).  I have quite a few drawings to be illustrated as well.
	IMO, a picture DOES speak a thousand words.

	I'm going to put all of the stuff I have up right away and
	organize it the way I think it should be done. Nik
	Clayton (nik@freebsd.org) is the head of the Documentation
	project.  He should be able to provide more guidance on howto
	proceed from there.
