198c2c6eaf Handbook is current as of Octuber 1997, not May 1997. 
Isn't there a way to have the date on the title page be the date of generation?

a9671ad391 Try and make more sense out of contributors lists and staff rosters, 
also folding some stuff into chapter 17 so that it gets more (deserved)
notice.

6b7d64bed6 Change name of current release to 2.2.2. This should be in 2.2.2, it 
will be pretty darn embarrassing to ship a release with a handbook
that claims it's one version older. :)

cb0a050988 Split the "Obtaining FreeBSD" appendix into four sections, for 
CD-ROM, FTP, CTM, and CVSup.  Adjust cross-references accordingly.
Add a list of CVSup mirror sites, and reference it from the CVSup

Also, fix a spelling error in the porting document.

0e6705d4e0 Be consistent about the codebase we originated from. Always use 
"4.4BSD-Lite" (not "4.4 BSD Lite", "BSD 4.4-lite" or some such), this
is what the CSRG people call their release in the red daemon book (and
most of the handbook had it that way).

b37985c476 (This really shouldn't all be on one commit, but I forgot 
I was in the middle of one of these "projects" when I started
on the next, so they wound up all intermixed)

Move the mailing list entities from authors.sgml to the new file
lists.sgml.  Add an entity for majordomo at the same time.

Avoid the use of contractions.  This revealed some grammer problems,
and also has the benefit of helping make things clearer for those people
who do make speak English as a their first language.

f6d864bf47 Add definitions for the various freebsd-* mailing lists so that 
we are consistent in how they are referenced in the handbook, and
so that they are now all clickable URLs.  E.g. no more mis-matched
freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org and hackers@freebsd.org.  They are used
just like the individual mail addresses defined in authors.sgml.
E.g. &a.doc will expand to:

FreeBSD documentation project mailing list <freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG>

Be consistent in using the FreeBSD.ORG address.  All references
to freebsd.org were changed to FreeBSD.ORG.

Use pre-defined addresses for some individuals where available.
