I guess that something along the lines of chapters of "The Complete FreeBSD" on various system configuration issues would be of interest to many people, but perhaps not that rewarding to write (because of the need of filling up the details). Conversely, some nice articles on the internals of FreeBSD would be much more interesting to write, but perhaps have a much more limited audience (not to mention that those able to write them might simply not have the time to).
