I have for very long been interested in contributing back to the FreeBSD community. I was wondering what the current needs are in terms of improving documentation and gaps where help is needed? I checked out the IdeaList on the FreeBSD Wiki but it seems somewhat outdated (a lot of the links are dead). Would anyone be able to shed some light on where I might be able to contribute? Ideas I had thought of: 1. Undertaking Handbook translation to Danish (it is my mother's tongue) 2. Writing new chapters for the Handbook Cheers Anders -- Anders Jensen-Waud E: anders@jensenwaud.com
