Hi,

I am brand new to both Unix and FreeBSD (made my first FreeBSD
installation a week ago). Nevertheless, I would like to write
documentation on "How to make FreeBSD and Windows share swap space".
Either as a new section in the Handbook or as a freestanding Article on
freebsd.org. In the Handbook, it might fit nicely after section 6.11
"Adding Swap Space".

What do you think? Could such an article or Handbook section be a good
contribution to the documentation project? Or is it a stupid idea, which I
shouldn't waste my time with?

At linuxdoc.org, I found 2 separate documents on sharing swap space
between Linux and Windows. But those documents don't apply well to
FreeBSD, since Linux (1) uses the mkswap command and (2) seems to have
trouble using files as swap.

Please post your comments. Good idea or stupid idea? If good idea, as
freestanding article or Handbook section?

If you think my proposal is worthy, I'll write a draft and submit it to
this mailing list (I don't have a website or FTP site) for your comments
and criticism.

I hope to hear from you soon.
