I don't know that there's a lot I can contribute yet (being so new), but I have noticed there are places in the documentation that are out of date and I could fix. For example, section 5.6.1 lists the Xorg xdm config files as being in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm which it seems they are not in newer versions of FreeBSD. I found them in /usr/local/etc/X11/xdm. So at least when it comes to noticing errors like that, and fixing them, I think I can contribute. I know the basics of Docbook and version control, so if there is a preferred way to submit corrections using diff files or something, I should be able to pick up on that fairly quickly. Anyway, I'd love to help out, and just looking for some guidance on how to get started. Thanks!
