As the originator of the work, I don't care any longer about the wording in the firewall section. My stuff contains all the technical details which has been missing from the handbook for an very long time. All I am interested in is finding someone who will take my source and prepare it for publication / replacing the current firewall section. Hassling over wording is not as important as getting the details and examples published in the handbook. I am ready to pass on the source to who ever will see this through to the end. Looking for powerful ramrod type of person who once they bite into the project will not let go until it's completed. Is that you???? Is there any one on the doc list who has the time and commitment to take on this publishing project?? By time this is ready for inclusion in the handbook I may have the rough draft of the pf firewall stuff written so it can be included also. Let me know if you have the right stuff to take control of the project and see it all the way through. As I stated before, I have work related deadlines and projects which do not leave me time to work my way through the process of peer review and revisions to the text. It's much easier to publish, than create the original technical info. I have done my part, now it's someone else's turn to complete the publishing process. That's why I turned to the doc mailing list to solicit help in completing the project. I leave it in your hands to follow through or drop it here.

Open source developers typically use diff(1) for this type of work, not poorly documented proprietry document formats. Don't take this the wrong way: any effort to improve FreeBSD is greatly appreciated, but it helps to learn the ropes first: http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/index.html > i hope this is seen as helpful and not as an insult to your work. You didn't attach your work to the message you sent, but we tend to view discussion as helpful, not insulting. Thanks, Tom
