Unfortunately, it's not like there's a team of tech writers sitting around waiting for suggestions of things to write and put into the docs. Rather, updating pretty much anything in the documentation -- or the ports for that matter -- requires "suggesting" the actual changes you want in the form of patches that replace the existing content with your version. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/book.html After starting down this road, you may decide it's less of an ordeal just to write something yourself and put it up on your own blog. :/
