Hello there,
I am looking for volunteers who are interested in writing
documentation, i.e. working with the FreeBSD Handbook and the
documentation set. Many of our great documentation writers have
decided to retire from their work over the last years, which means the
FreeBSD Documentation Project is in need of talented, skilled,
determined, and ambitious people who would help to maintain the
tradition of producing high quality documentation for the FreeBSD
operating system.
The documentation set is prepared in DocBook that might seem a bit
complicated at first sight, but I can assure you it can be learned
quickly. All you need is good writing skills in English, some
knowledge of FreeBSD systems, and willingness to learn even more about
them. To coordinate and encourage the efforts, I have created a site
[1] called "The FreeBSD Contributor's Documentation Project" that
contains the necessary information. Note that there are many ways of
contribution: you can comment open Problem Reports or write patches
(by using Mercurial Queues for example), etc. depending on your free
time. I can help with anything at the regular weekly IRC meetings,
and you can contact me via email directly any time, and hopefully
other documentation developers will also join me.
Thank you for any help in advance.

Hi!
Just a nitpick, would it be possible to move that site to the wiki,
where most other stuff related to FreeBSD development is? It's not meant
as critique towards your work, just a suggestion.
Also, a list of open tasks would probably be valuable. For instance a
list where people who find errors or discrepancies in the docs can add
them so other people find them and can work on them. I know this is what
the PR system is built for, but the PR system might be a bid cumbersome
for just making annotations and stuff like that.
Just some suggestions on how to make this flow better. Hopefully I will
have some time to actually do some of the work involved too. :)
Keep up the good work!
Best Regards!
