I don't quite follow that first paragraph, but just to be absolutely explicit -- use send-pr to submit new documentation! Either submit the doc and/or patches within the PR, or, if it's a large document, include a pointer to the documentation you want to submit as a URL. See <URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/docproj.html>; for details. N -- [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed, non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs the links. -- Tom Christiansen in <375143b5@cs.colorado.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
