I'd like to start working on a PC-BSD Handbook. I think that a lot of
the content in the first two parts of the Handbook could be shared.
For example, the Unix Basics chapter could be included without
modification in a PC-BSD Handbook.
I would prefer to check in something into
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/pc-bsd-handbook. The SGML files there would
occasionally include chapters from ../handbook. The most important
two chapters that we need are a new Chapter 1 : Introduction, and a
new Chapter 2 : Installation. The next most important chapter to
write is on Ports and Packages. Once those three chapters are
written, we can put together a useful Handbook specifically for PC-BSD
users that can help raise the profile of PC-BSD. The PC-BSD
introduction chapter could in turn be added as an appendix to the main
Handbook.
I think we should do this inside the normal FreeBSD Doc Project
framework to raise awareness and produce closer ties between people
working on PC-BSD and the base FreeBSD.
Thoughts or concerns about this?
