The number of sections that are marked as "to be written" has
diminished in recent months but a lot of the information is still
hopelessly out of date or poorly written. For example, here is a
quote from the serial communication chapter "This document is written
based on the author's experience with FreeBSD versions 1.0, 1.1, and
1.1.5.1".
If you are having trouble finding a section to write for in the
FreeBSD Handbook then there are many there are many other noble goals
as well. If you check out the 'doc' module from CVS you will find
beginning work on a Developers Handbook which is almost entirely
unwritten. The chapters have been laid out but there are only a
couple of paragraphs of content. You can also search through the PR
database for update requests, write new tutorials, write new man
pages, etc, etc..
