But maybe a tutorial would be better as a separate >article. I don't feel strongly about this either way, but the current assembly tutorial is already in the developer's handbook, and I don't think topic of "FreeBSD assembly language tutorial" should be split between two pages. I would also prefer having it in developers' handbook. It would be really practical to have a single developer documentation just like handbook for users. I think it would be a good objective to put some efforts into this once the printed handbook is out.

HEADS UP: doc/ slush for 8.4R begins on 17 March, 2013
Hi all, The doc slush will begin on 17 March, 2013. The purpose of the doc slush is to slow down the rate of change in that tree in order to allow the translation teams time to finalize their work and to avoid last-minute breakage for the 8.4-RELEASE. As usual, this is not a real freeze and requires no formal commit approval procedure for your commit, but you are kindly requested not to commit large, structural changes during that period. Tagging of the doc tree is scheduled to take place on 31 March, 2012. Thank you for your cooperation and keep up the good work! -- Marc with doceng@ Hat pgpBPqdVaI77A.pgp Description: PGP signature
BSD For Linux Users (update)
Hi -advocacy, -chat, -doc. I'm sure most of you are familiar with this page: https://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/01 Since I started using FreeBSD, it's been the go-to link to send to people asking "why should I use BSD over Linux" or "what makes FreeBSD so great?" or even just "what are the differences?" I still send this link to new users because a lot of it has withstood the test of time, and still applies to today's environment. However, there are some things that have definitely changed in our OS that I think should be added. This article really needs to be modernized to today's standards with a list of updated tools and methods. I've tried contacting the person who wrote it about getting it updated, even offering to do so myself, but never got a reply. My question to you: Would anyone here be interested in updating it (or just helping a bit) to be more accurate with the modern FreeBSD world, and has a place to host it that we can link to? I think this would really be a nice improvement and help us teach more new users about how we do things. Also, a few official pages on freebsd.org are growing a bit old (references to CVS, etc.) and might need similar treatment: FreeBSD: An Open Source Alternative to Linux https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/linux-comparison/article.html FreeBSD Quickstart Guide for Linux Users https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/linux-users/index.html Comparing BSD and Linux https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/explaining-bsd/comparing-bsd-and-linux.html I'm going to begin going through all of these pages in the next few days and see what needs to be updated and how much work this will be, but I would greatly appreciate any help from the community! ___ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
