FreeBSD Documentation Project
Overview
Getting to grips with a new and complex operating system isalways a difficult task, no matter how pretty the GUI is. FreeBSDis no different in this respect.
While there are a vast number of BSD Unix (and general UNIX®)books available, FreeBSD has its own unique features, proceduresand quirks.
In addition, FreeBSD will be the first exposure to a Unix-likeoperating system for some of its users, so the availability of highquality, accurate documentation is paramount.
The FreeBSD Documentation Project exists to help fill this gap.There are two ways in which this is undertaken:
Members of the Documentation Project write documentation andsubmit it for inclusion in theFreeBSD DocumentationSet.
Members of the Documentation Project discuss and arrange theformatting and organization of theFreeBSD DocumentationSet.
