Not one, three. http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/handbook-x-install/ http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/newhandbook/X/ http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/developer/manually_build_x_and_beyond/ I see the need for good documentation, but I doubt that somebody will take care of another FAQ/newbie guide. We already have a lot of documentation which is in rather good shape (new handbook) or in bad shape (old handbook and most pages under documentation/). Nobody really takes care about that stuff and to be honest I can understand why :/ If I just look at the FAQ page http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/faq/FAQ-English/ ... puhh ... there is some room for improvement. IMO we need some real users (no need to be a committer/developer) who take care about our website and documentation. FreeBSD has a documentation team for this (I know, some ppl don't like this or think, we don't need such a team). My 2c && cheers Matthias
