Known problem. If the mailing list software wasn't rejecting multiple
posts the following message would've appeared in -stable by now. If
you're interested in following this in more detail, please subscribe to
doc@freebsd.org. Thanks.

I'm very pleased to announce the lifting of the freeze on the doc/ tree.
The FreeBSD Documentation Project has now almost completed the transition
from LinuxDoc to DocBook (3 small documents remain).
This wouldn't have been possible without the contributions and hard work
from many people, including, but not limited to;
* John Polstra
* Jun Kuriyama, and the other members of the Japanese translation team
* Jesus Rodriguez, of the Spanish translation effort
* Foxfair Hu, of the Chinese translation group
* Andrey Chernov, of the Russian translaters
and the many other members of the FDP who contributed comments and
suggestions on the -doc mailing list. My thanks to all of you.
In addition, I will very shortly be restarting the automatic re-generation
of the FreeBSD website. The most visible change will be to the FAQ and
tutorial sections. As you look over these documents, please remember that
this is still early days, and that the formatting of these documents is
open to review, and your suggestions and comments are appreciated.
There is one item to note: it is highly likely that trying to build
a release without defining the "NODOC" variable will fail.
My preferred approach to fixing this is to move the documentation building
completely outside of the release structure. The formatted documentation
will shortly be available as packages. However, if this doesn't prove
feasible then effort will be expended in fixing src/release/Makefile to
cope with the new structure.
