The "last modified" date comes from the $FreeBSD$ tag, but only the one in the book.xml file. So it is misleading, and usually not the date of the most recent update to the book. Fixing this would require scanning the document sources for the most recent date in the doc toolchain, which is possible, it's just something that needs to be done. I'll update the copyright, and that will also change the date in book.xml. So it will be correct until one of the other files changes...

Thanks. I noticed when I forwarded the link to a young talent that the "last changed= " date of 2014 didn't look encouraging in terms of contributing to a vibrant= community. - Michael=20=
