Actually JMJ, I originally got my commit bit to do documentation stuff by converting the Committer's Guide from plain text to DocBook with appropriate markup. I then meandered my way over into the src/ tree where I now spend my time engaged in SMP hacking. I still like to do docs, I've written several kernel manpages and FAQ entries. The Documentation Project is certainly an easy way to get involved with the project. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
