* $FreeBSD$ shouldn't be expanded when used in the explanation of
   conflicts.
 * Add some markup bits I missed, fix typoes, fix broken hyphenation
   caused by joining lines together which had hyphenated words split over

d3d532c64f * RCS Date string in <date> 
* Add year to <copyright>

 * Explain how you can use CVSup to download the PR database, and then
   teach a local copy of GNATS about the files you've installed, to make
   it easier to query them without being online all the time.

   Prompted by Warner's query on -committers last month.  Doing this is
   actually fairly trivial, but I figure a lot of you'll benefit from it.

 * Change some &prompt.user; to &prompt.root; (as far as I can see, you
   need to run the commands as root).

 * Update a link to point to the Porter's Handbook.

5f291ead9b The FreeBSD New Committer's Guide. The original text version was worked 
on by many people, the SGML conversion has been carried out by the new(ish)
committer, John Baldwin.  Cheer's John.

Changes from the submission:

  1.  It's an article, not a book.  I originally thought there was going
      to be sufficient content (when you include the committers rules
      that are being thrashed out at the moment, and Satoshi's ports
      committer stuff) to make this worth being a book.  After seeing the
      content I changed my mind, so it's an article.

  2.  Various contractions ("you're" and so on) expanded to make life
      a little easier for the translators.  Kept one ("Who's Who").
