The FAQ (its HTML source code) is maintained in the CVS repository[1], you can check out a copy using cvs(1) from one of the public mirrors[2] like $ cvs -d $CVSROOT -q checkout www/faq/pf Then edit the HTML files until they contain the changes you want to make and render properly $ cd www/faq/pf $ vi index.html $ lynx index.html and produce a unified (the -u option matters) diff $ cvs -q diff -u >~/my.diff $ more ~/my.diff Then mail it to the public www@ list or the maintainers directly, who are nick@ and [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that the lists generally strip MIME attachments, so include the diff in the body of the mail as plain text. The man page is similar, but you'd send the diff to misc@ or tech@, there aren't dedicated maintainers, but if you want to contact someone personally, check the CVS history for someone who has recently commited to the file you have a diff for. If you plan larger changes, submit them in smaller chunks, each containing one particular aspect entirely, those are easier to digest.
