If there are changes coming, may I suggest an improvement: put a link to the doc project's new contributor primer in a more visible location on the website. It is now buried 4 clicks deep into the website almost at the very end of the following page: http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/sgml.html There needs to be a link to it on these pages: http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/submitting.html http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/ The primer is: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/index.html
