I'd be interested in putting time/resources into the documentation project -- what is there that needs doing ;). Keep in mind I'm running FreeBSD currently off of a really minimal platform (386sx20, 4 megs of ram, but with X ;). You can contact me at rwatson@sidwell.edu, or rwatson@clark.net. Thanks for a great product..
