<p>FreeBSD's documentation falls into four basic categories;</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p><a href="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi"><b>The manual pages</b></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Project does not really concern itself with these, since
|
|
they are a part of the base system. The exception to this is the
|
|
Japanese team, who are translating them. There is no reason other
|
|
volunteers could not step in to translate the manual pages to other
|
|
languages as well.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>That is not to say that the manual pages are unimportant, far from
|
|
it. It is just that they are intimately tied to specific systems of
|
|
FreeBSD, and most of the time the best person to write the manual
|
|
page is the person that wrote that part of FreeBSD.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p><a href="../FAQ/FAQ.html"><b>The FAQ</b></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is maintained by the project. The aim is to address (in short
|
|
question and answer format) questions that are asked or should be
|
|
asked on the various mailing lists and newsgroups devoted to
|
|
FreeBSD. The format does not permit long winded and comprehensive
|
|
answers.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p><a href="../handbook/handbook.html"><b>The Handbook</b></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is maintained by the project. Topics that need a more in depth
|
|
discussion are addressed in the Handbook.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p><a href="../tutorials/"><b>The Tutorials</b></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some of these tutorials are maintained by Project committers, others
|
|
are not. The <b>maintenance</b> of these documents is up to the
|
|
individual authors, although, to the best of my knowledge,
|
|
they have all kept them up to date, solicit comments from the
|
|
readership and so on.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some of the tutorials are stored on the FreeBSD web site. For these
|
|
tutorials the authors submit their changes to one of the committers,
|
|
and the committer makes the change. Other tutorials are stored on the
|
|
author's private webspace, and the author can make changes as and
|
|
when they wish. Sometimes this is a deliberate choice on the part
|
|
of the author, and sometimes it is a historical accident.</p></li>
