What I'd like to discuss is where our efforts should go. I would suggest we prioritize things that work as introductions for those new to FreeBSD: - https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html - https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/index.html - https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/index.html and then possibly - https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/new-users/index.html - https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/mailing-list-faq/index.html IMHO the internal project documentation should not be a priority. The translations will most likely stay out of date, as they are now. Nor, do I think some of the very technical articles/books should be, for the very same reason. I think the above should be reasonable goals. What do other people think? [A separate topic would be about getting rid of antiquated documentation that is in English :-) e.g. pmake. I'll raise that elsewhere.] mcl
