Who appointed you Grand Poobah with the skill and expertise to determine what's an "acceptable" level of documentation for me and everybody else in the free(bsd) world? Given that you're hardly an experienced FreeBSD user (so am I so don't start....). If your documentation skills are so exemplary perhaps you should start by submitting some revised documentation for ports/drivers/etc that already exist. Perhaps you'll prove right and earn committer status yourself. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
