Sorry; I probably should have lurked longer before spouting off.

I now see that the freebsd-doc charter (in "handbook/eresources.html")
agrees with you.

But "http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/index.html" says the FDP is all
about working on the FDP's "Documentation Set" which includes:

The manual pages
    The Project does not really concern itself with these,"
The FAQ
The Handbook
The Tutorials
    Some of these tutorials are maintained by Project committers, 
    others are not.
(/quote)


A small change of docproj/index.html should clear things up.

Change "There are two ways in which this is undertaken;"
to "There are several ways in which this is undertaken, including:"
and add something like:

   3. Members of the Documentation Project work on other documentation
   activities including dealing with question on the freebsd-doc mailing
   list and documentation-related Problem Reports.

BTW, I might have tried providing my first page patch, but it seems that
"doc-all" isn't quite truthfully named and I don't have the page source.
Which leads to another question I'll post under a new Subject if nobody
sees this today:

How do I determine the names of the available cvsup "collections"
(and, if I have to use "cvs", the names of the "trees")?
