A good place to start is probably the FreeBSD Documentation Project Primer, or FDP-Primer, located here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/ . It contains information about how the documentation system works, mostly web page and handbook. For manuals groff_mdoc(7) has some valuable information. To find stuff to actually work on, look through the handbook and see if there's stuff that's outdated or needs improvement. You can also look through the PR database and see if you find any interesting PRs that needs work (or that just can be closed, or committed, or similar). I hope this helps you find something to get started with! Welcome Aboard! Regards! -- Niclas Zeising
