Hello, docs project folks. This is kim manton (antwerp@time.cdrom.com), secret invisible docs project lurker/groupie since 386BSD->present. I've been secret and invisible due to the fact that I haven't had the time to work directly on the project (rent and all that) until recently. I've been a lurker/groupie due to the fact that I've quite literally been living with the project (in the form of one Jordan Hubbard + the ever-expanding herd of machines/cats) since it began (and before, if such a time ever existed). I have also been a contracting technical writer for the last 15+ years, specializing in UNIX (BSD, *of course* :-)), X Window System, Networking/Telecoms, Server/Client apps, UNIX Sysadmin, and sundry other UNIX-ish topics. You can see my resume on my webpage on time (http://time.cdrom.com/~antwerp) (NOTE: both the webpage and the rez are going through massive update, so access may come and go until both are stabilized -- keep trying). I've taken a break from contracting to (a) regain my sanity and (b) do some work on the FreeBSD docs project. I've been working on a new (separate) Installation and Configuration Guide(s), and a docplan/outline for a complete standard UNIX format docset. I hadn't seen much happening on the docs project until very recently -- other than the massive and heroic effort to convert the handbook to the O'Reilly docbook DTD (!yow!) -- so I've just been off in a corner doing my own thing. Now it looks like some major organized effort is shaping up to redo the docs, so I thought I'd let you know I'm around and available to do some work. I also have some ideas about how to recruit new writers and maybe even possibly get some actual real ($$) resources for the docs project. I'll send that out in a separate message. Also, I am interested in helping out with the marketing pubs end of the spectrum (press releases, glossies, datasheets, whitepapers, advertising, etc.). If anyone else out there would like to work on that (or already is!), you can email me at antwerp@time.cdrom.com. [A draft of the install guide will be posted around the end of next week on my webpage. This project is separate from the handbook, but if you want to incorporate it, go for it.] Best regards, -kim manton antwerp@time.cdrom.com antwerp@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
