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=20
much of it's documentaion is quite dated, I believe documentaion is a
key=20
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=20
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=20
tutorial about. Before long I think we would have a nice, cuurect,
collection=20
of tutorials.
=20
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.
=20
Thanks alot guys, later
