But, instead of repeating what is already written, I'll point you to a couple of places: o The Handbook already has a section that explains some of the ways you can contribute back to FreeBSD. o There is always the ``Contributing to FreeBSD'' article, which you can find online at the web site of FreeBSD: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/ Have fun, - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
