BJ, I've written newspaper columns (political and computer), videos, news for broadcast and print, and even a few technical manuals. I firmly believe we need to get this project off the ground. I've been using FreeBSD for about a month now and have encountered many problems with little or no documentation to help. What I've learned has been primarily by trial and error (and *many* hours of kernel recompiles). The web offers little help and Lehey's book is extremely incomplete. I think our first goal should be step-by-step instructions on how to do things basic to computer operation. For example: installing packages, setting up devices, and setting up Internet access. Your access to a server will be a great help. I don't think we should even consider hard copy. The only way to stay current is by publishing electronically.
