Update a bit this page in adding link and comments about the doc TODO

list.  I removed some old things (not all) and merged others in the TODO
list.  This page is still in WIP state from my point of view.

<h3>Documentation TODO list</h3>
<p>The Documentation <a href="todo.html">TODO</a> list is an
up-to-date list of documentation issues that should be resolved.
This list is posted every month on the <a
href="mailto:FreeBSD-doc@FreeBSD.org">FreeBSD-doc@FreeBSD.org</a>
mailing list. If you wish to help us to improve the FreeBSD
documentation set you should, at first, choose to work on one of
the TODO list items.</p>

<h3>Improve Firewalls chapter of the Handbook</h3>
<p><b>Responsible:</b> FreeBSD-doc &lt;<a
href="mailto:FreeBSD-doc@FreeBSD.org">FreeBSD-doc@FreeBSD.org</a>&gt;</p>
<p><b>Synopsis:</b> A chapter about Firewalls has recently been
added to the FreeBSD Handbook. This new addition is very much a
work in progress and there are many grammatical and
presentational errors in the chapter. This chapter was
previously a large section in the Security chapter, so please
see the CVS history of <tt>security/chapter.sgml</tt> to see
some of the work that has been done over the past few months to
bring this addition more into line with the Doc Project Primer
and the rest of our documentation set. There is still a lot of
work to be done, and any and all help is appreciated.</p>
