8b4d1300d3 * Remove Hotmail and BSDi from the users list
* inter-operate -> interoperate

* e-mail -> email (email is used much more throughout the rest of the
  handbook)

* Open System -> open system

* on-line -> online

While I'm here, fix some punctuation as well.

43796b8868 Update references to the staff section of the Handbook to point to the
"Contributors List" article.

Remove the list of contributors from the "Contributing to FreeBSD"
chapter.

Remove the "High Priority Tasks" and "Medium Priority Tasks" from the
"Contributing to FreeBSD" chapter since this destined to always be
hopelessly out of date.  Keep the information about what we always
need.

383c86289e Wrap author attributions in <sect1info> and <sect2info> as
appropriate.

I've specifically left JKH's attribution for the "FreeBSD History"
section in tact, since this is a first person account of the history
of FreeBSD and as such the author needs to be identified in place.
This could probably be marked up differently, but its clear that this
section is different from all of the other "contributed by XXX" in the
Handbook.

Also add support for <sect1info> and <sect2info> to the stylsheet so
that these attributions get displayed as they have been.

a6695a0034 Correctly display local file links in the print stylesheet.
Local-file URLs are encoded as file://localhost/path/file which is
fine for HTML but this looks ugly when printed.

Add a function to chop off the "file://localhost" so that the above
URL would be printed as "/path/file" but still link to
"file://localhost/path/file" for HTML output.

e6917a777e Properly wrap indexterm entries that exceed 80 characters. Also move
<indexterm> tags outside of <para>s since this can add extra
whitespace characters to the output (for print stylesheets).

1006924be7 This print stylesheets prefer indexterms to be outside of <listitem>
tags or inside a <para> inside a <listitem>.

This changes :

          <listitem>
            <indexterm><primary>core team</primary></indexterm>
            <para>The <link linkend="staff-core">FreeBSD core team</link>

into :

          <listitem>
            <para>The <link linkend="staff-core">FreeBSD core team</link>
            <indexterm><primary>core team</primary></indexterm>

Theoretically, adding indexterms should never affect the normal flow,
but the last revision was adding extra blank lines into the postscript
output.
