Hi folks,

[ sent to -doc, and a few individuals who should definitely see this 
  before it's committed ]

Based on comments made on this list and to me in private over the past
week or so, I've made a stab at rewriting and expanding some of the
information about the project that's available on the web site. The aim
is to make the public face for the DocProj appear more open and 
approachable.

If you go to 

    <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/~nik/dp/docproj.html>;

you'll see my proposed replacement for

    <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/docproj.html>;

I put this together in about an hour and a half last night, so I've
undoubtedly missed stuff, or phrased things confusingly.

I know that I've repeated some of the information that's available in 
other places, particularly the Handbook. However, many of the comments
I've read have been about how the necessary information isn't all in
one place. I know the proper solution is to get all this stuff into the
Handbook, but I don't see a long queue of volunteers submitting diffs,
so this is, at least, a start.

I'd appreciate folks taking a look at this, letting me know what they think.
If the overall reaction is positive I'll commit it next week (which should
give enough time for any discussion it generates).

Feel free to repost this to other lists, if you think it's appropriate.
