I think that the Handbook and FAQ are pretty nice, already. I've
thought at times of something like:
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/daily
"Using FreeBSD for every-day work"
but, I'm not sure what how that would be different from the FAQ or the
Handbook we already have. I'd really be glad to see a collection of
things like:
- I just installed FreeBSD, now what?
- I just want to read my email dammit.
- Where's my browser?
- No, no, I don't want to have to login.
and other nice things that users will start asking once they install
an operating system. I say, Michael, start something...
