Agreed. Kudos to the documentation team and everyone who participates. I sat at lunch with a group of people who I believe were part of the documentation effort at BSDCon this year, and one of the things they were discussing was how easy it can be to contribute to the FreeBSD documentation, and yet how overlooked the documentation is by most people. If you are someone who cannot code, has some extra time on their hands, and has always been looking for a way to contribute to FreeBSD, consider documentation. Manpages, handbook additions, articles, reviews, etc. All of these things are part of what makes it FreeBSD function, and what brings new users into the FreeBSD community.
