This is what was my impression from the original post. That Patrick wants to "build" the documentation. Otherwise, I'd probably have pointed to the FTP mirrors that hold the daily snapshots of the docs. You don't really -need- the docproj port, since any kind of contribution is welcome. Even short notices by email to doc@FreeBSD.org with text like ``you have a typo in page http://blah/foo. Change "fubar" to "foobar".'' are certainly useful, and much appreciated.
