	Yes, some of us have been talking about this subject for a long time.
:) It's nice to see the momentum continue to build. The work on some of
the things you're discussing here has already been in progress for a
couple months. I would again encourage anyone interested in working on
documentation related issues to subscribe to freebsd-doc.

	Can you please describe in as much detail as you feel comfortable with
exactly *why* you don't feel comfortable asking questions?  Perhaps on a
different thread.  This is a key area of the FreeBSD project and since
I'm at a loss to understand why someone wouldn't feel comfy asking
questions on the -questions list, I need help understanding. :)

and cast aspersions from the start. :)  Rather than dragging politics
and nationalism into the debate, let's focus on how we can serve our
community best.
