There is a lot of work that the documentation project needs help with: the easy is to start with a list of problems such as https://wiki.freebsd.org/ThwackAFAQ - look for the red ones and follow the instructions at the top to start sending patches.

The way to get involved is to Just Start. > i noticed in the new commiter guide, some body want to join the > Committer, need a mentorship. > but i have no idea how to do. where to find mentorship? You absolutely don't *need* a mentor to start.
