If a lot of people are going to write manuals, do you think it'd be a good idea to check who is writing on which topics, so that we don't end up with some parts missing and others duplicated? Have you seen what is being done already by the FreeBSD documentation project? They're working on multiple languages too. I'll see if the guy who's organising it can give us a simple summary of what is happening. > My second project is FUG, (Freebsd User Group) and if some admin on this list > can e-mail me for give me information on how I can submit that project... :-) That depends on what you want to do. Do you want to start a User Group in your local area? Bravo! Go right ahead. I'm a little unlcear about what you want to submit, and why you would have to. > And the last, would be a channel for newbie who use freebsd. > Like #bsd-newbie > on undernet or some server like that. I think that there's #freebsd on dalnet and maybe undernet too. There's nothing to stop you from opening #bsd-newbie if you want to. In fact I think it's a wonderful idea! Would you want someone to be there who can answer questions? If so, do you know anyone who'd be prepared to do that? Anyway, you don't have to ask permission. > I just want than some Admin in FreeBSD project take consideration of > newbie and of there problems-a lot or problems... They want to, so let's see if we can agree on what our problems are and what it is that we need to overcome them. > So, we are not alone in the dark, I wish :-) No need to wish. You have all the light you want already. Work with the people who do the work, not against them, and they'll always listen to you.
