<h2>Overview</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Getting to grips with a new and complex operating system is always a
|
|
difficult task, no matter how pretty the GUI is. FreeBSD is no different
|
|
in this respect.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>While there are a vast number of BSD Unix (and general Unix) books
|
|
available, FreeBSD has its own unique features, procedures and
|
|
quirks.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition, FreeBSD will be the first exposure to a Unix-like
|
|
operating system for many of its users, so the availability of high
|
|
quality, accurate documentation is paramount.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD Documentation Project exists to help fill this gap. There
|
|
are two ways in which this is undertaken;</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>Members of the Documentation Project write documentation and
|
|
submit it for inclusion in the <em>FreeBSD Documentation
|
|
Set</em>.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Members of the Documentation Project discuss and arrange the
|
|
formatting and organisation of the <em>FreeBSD Documentation
|
|
Set</em>.</p></li>
|
|
</ol>

|
|
|
|
<p>There are a number of projects currently <em>in progress</em> as
|
|
part of the documentation effort. Please take the time to look over
|
|
this list and see if there is anything <b>you</b> can help
|

with.</p></td>

<h2><a href="who.html">Who we are, how to join</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This page explains who makes up the Documentation Project, and how
|
|
you can join.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a href="doc-set.html">The FreeBSD Documentation Set</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This page outlines the components of the FreeBSD Documentation Set, and
|
|
the sort of work that the Documentation Project does with them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a href="sgml.html">SGML and the Documentation Project</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The project is trying to use SGML for the documentation. This page
|
|
outlines how this is accomplished, and directs the interested reader to
|
|
further SGML resources.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a href="submitting.html">Submitting Documentation</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Submitting documentation is the best way to become a part of the
|
|
project, and help make FreeBSD easier to use. This page explains the
|
|
best way to submit documentation so that it gets looked at as soon as
|
|
possible.</p>

<h2><a href="translations.html">Translation</a></h2>
|
