Gain a little positive feedback. 3. Write up Jerry's FAQ answer as a patch to the current one in the /usr/doc/ tree. 4. Submit a PR with patch attached. That's an overview of how it *might* happen. You may have to add in 2a] read the FDP primer, learn Docbook/ SGML syntax, etc. and 3a] talk over your patch with a mentor/committer to see if they think it's ready before you submit the PR; especially if you don't tolerate criticism well. OTOH, they might just jump for joy and even volunteer to convert plain text to SGML for ya ... you can't tell for certain, though they're a pretty positive group (in spite of the yacking that gets thrown their way about every little piece of writing about FreeBSD on the web....) Just my $0.02, Kevin Kinsey PS> and yes, I appreciated the overview that Jerry gave, also. -- The attacker must vanquish; the defender need only survive.
