Yes, I think that too--but the only way it'll get better is if we contribute. Even if you don't know DocBook, you can take a part of what you think might be lacking and enhance it in straight text and send it to doc@freebsd.org. There are several people there who might be nudged into marking it up for you and maybe even including it. If you've got something that definitely should go in there, then submitting a PR (using send-pr) with your additions included will increase the chances of it getting into the handbook (versus just stored in the mail archives :). > > Indeed.
