We're gearing up to print a second edition of the Handbook around
October / November time. You can see the current task list for that
process at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/handbook.html
And if you think that any content in the Handbook is not clearly
written, or could be improved upon, you are strongly encouraged to help
out by submitting changes and commentary, and by joining the
doc@FreeBSD.org mailing list. Contributors are acknowledged in the
Handbook, so this could be your chance to see your name in print.
