If you have existing documentation to contribute, you can either post it (or a link) to this list, or use send-pr to file a PR. If you're asking how to produce documentation similar to that being used in the Handbook or elsewhere, please see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/index.html (It's quite possible to write a whitepaper as an SGML article using the DocBook framework and get very nice results, although LaTeX is also worth considering. However, you don't really have to learn XML/SGML markup if you have plaintext copy, there are people around this list who can do the SGML markup from the plaintext for you, at least if the content is deemed sufficiently useful to motivate someone to volunteer. :-) Thanks for your interest in improving FreeBSD, -- -Chuck
