What books or articles would you suggest we get started on.

If we kept a list of who was working on what books on the FreeBSD Web
page, people could contribute experiences and encouragement.

Personally I think we should look at what Linux Books are there and start
there.

I would Suggest:

How to run an ISP using FreeBSD (cdrom included)
How to run in Internet Web site Using FreeBSD (cdrom included)
FreeBSD Administration in a Nutshell.
FreeBSD Unleashed. (cdrom included)
Troubleshooters Guide to FreeBSD.
C Programming on FreeBSD
Cgi, Java, and Perl programming on FreeBSD.
FreeBSD for Dummies.
Learn FreeBSD in a Week.
The Complete Administrators Guide to FreeBSD in plain english.
FreeBSD users guide.
FreeBSD Xwindows Users Guide (XFree86 included)
Secrets of FreeBSD (super cool stuff would go here)
Business Applications of FreeBSD.

I say we just list these on the web page and have people claim a book and 
start writing.  We keep track of how many pages they have written on the
web page, and then help them get it published.
