Pretty much.  The docproj primer at 

    http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/docproj-primer/

goes in to exhaustive detail.  Also, just take a look at the existing 
documentation under doc/en*/articles.

Please, by all means submit;

   a)  New articles, following the examples under doc/en*/articles/

and

   b)  Amendments to the FAQ and Handbook, either as diffs if it's 
       alterations to existing copy, or additions if you're adding new
       text.

We like both kinds of changes.  See http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/ for
details about submitting changes and additions using the PR system, which
lets these things be tracked.
