I think it's stable now; the issue wasn't stability as much as "missing". > If no one else beats me to it, I guess the best > place to start would be to bring up a DFly desktop, journal my > experiences, and attempt to put something together which can hopefully > be maintained. I've been doing something similar with the DragonFly BSD Log ( http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/ ). Perhaps we should have something similar to freebsddiary.org? > Perhaps the real way to document the process of getting to a place > where you can just say "install this" is to write a shell script? > I've been using that methodology to document processes for quite some > time. You mean a shell script that automates certain common processes? That would be handy. I have been thinking that instead of larger documents like the Handbook, we could work on creating a series of how-to documents, like other systems. This may be more maintainable, and translates more directly to Wiki material, which is so far the easiest way for folks to contribute.
