[ -doc, -hackers, FU set to -doc ] Recent discussion on -doc has bought forth the suggestion that the Handbook could usefully be split in to a number of smaller books. Rough consensus is that chunks of the existing Handbook should form parts of a new "FreeBSD Developer Handbook", to cover information useful to FreeBSD developers (and developers using FreeBSD). Specifically, the sort of people who inhabit -hackers. http://people.freebsd.org/~nik/developer-handbook/index.html (or /book.html if you want one big file) shows a very early cut at how the Developer Handbook might be structured. It includes some content culled from the current Handbook. What I'd like is feedback on this structure (which is flexible and open to change) from the developers, along with suggestions for extra material that should be included. I'm sufficiently removed from the development code face to be totally unsure about the best way to organise topics from a developer's point of view. Any and all suggestions welcome.
