<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 organization 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

<h2><a href="sgml.html">SGML and the Documentation Project</a></h2>

|
|
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

|
possible.</p>
