Subject: RE: new documentaion
Now THAT is the spirit of adventure and conquest that I want to see more
of on this list!!! You see a dragon, and by George you're going to slay
it! I salute you, sir! And yes, I agree, the documentation is very
dated. What do you think of this: we can have two different types of
documentation, the classic How To, and also a new type, the Why To.
Sort of like separating the mechanics of a task from the concepts of why
it needs to be done. Maybe it would help bridge the gap between the
gurus and the newbies? I am up for writing these sorts of things. What
do you think might be some critical areas?

Subject: new documentaion
Hello,
I have been using freebsd for awhile now, and I have noticed
that
much of it's documentaion is quite dated, I believe documentaion is a
key
part of support, especially for a newbie. Also there are many topics not
covered, I think this could all be changed. There are many of us on this
list
right now who have enough knowledge to write good, up to date tutorials.
Anything that you think you know well about freebsd you could write a
tutorial about. Before long I think we would have a nice, cuurect,
collection
of tutorials.
I am going to be writing many tutorials in the next few weeks if
anyone wants to help me out, or write some too, that would be awesome.
Thanks alot guys, later
