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? _S -----Original Message----- From: GLOBALLINK2001@aol.com [mailto:GLOBALLINK2001@aol.com]=20 Sent: Friday, January 12, 2001 6:33 PM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org 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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
