It has been reviewed by various doc committers but we would like to know if we have missed something or is there something that should be clarified better. Please tell your opinions. Proposed text follows: FreeBSD Documentation Project freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org

We continue to make progress in committing the work produced as part of Google Code-In 2011; an overview of the status is at http://wiki.freebsd.org/GoogleCodeIn/2011Status. Doc committers and GCIN mentors are encouraged to go through the list and help shepherd outstanding tasks into the tree.

We are planning a full day of Documentation Summit on the day preceding the August 2012 DevSummit in Cambridge, UK. This follows a successful DocSummit day held at BSDCan in May 2012. Further details are available at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/201208DevSummit.

A doc sprint took place over IRC (#bsddocs on EFnet) in early July, setting out plans for reviving the marketing team and a strong desire for a new, more organized website.

A lot of progress and momentum has built up with creating and updating documentation and website content over the last few months. Also read the doceng report for the recent infrastructure improvements.

Anyone wishing to help with this effort is welcome to join us and say hello either on the freebsd-doc@ mailing list, or #bsddocs on EFnet IRC.

Review the website content and remove outdated parts or update when applicable. Go through the doc idea list on the wiki and start working them out.
Thanks in advance, Gabor
