After a long time of not dedicating much time to learning freebsd I have started to dedicate more time/effort in learning it. What I have found is that there is much to be done to make freebsd easier to use and just as much to have good documentation. I have two more weeks reamaining in this semester at school, but after that I want to help with the documentation. I bought myself the "Unix companion" and am reading a little bit every day to get myself up to speed. What I would prefer best to work on is documents that need revising so I could try the explanations and improve/correct them. An example of this are the manual sections in PPP. It has taken me a long time (much longer than I have enjoyed) to get my FreeBSD to connect to the internet and even then I have to use the "term" (don't recall if that is the right word) mode to dial. I have also noticed that many of the the man pages are not very good or unclear. I could work on those too. Needless to say I am not all that familiar with Unix, but I am starting to get the basics rather well. Later on I am algo going to try the xform gui building tool I just saw announced in FreeBSD.announce. Who knows some day I may even be able to contribute to the cause with some coding. :)
