You can find more information on DocBook at http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber/docbook/ It is not necessary to write documentation in DocBook, however (although it is preferred :). If you happen to have some familiarity with LinuxDoc, that is good, too. It is also Ok to submit it as plain text and we will transform it into DocBook (with the caveat that I have yet to see someone stand-up and say that they personally will do this work). You can write the documentation as a stand-alone tutorial or as an additional section of the handbook. Either way, we will be gald to host it on www.FreeBSD.ORG. Once the documentation is ready, upload it to incoming/ and notify us about it with send-pr (see the handbook "Contributing" for details on doing this). -- tIM...HOEk OPTIMIZATION: the process of using many one-letter variables names hoping that the resultant code will run faster.
