In order to bring contributors up to speed on how to interact with FreeBSD, I want to document some of the items that aren't really noted in the FreeBSD developers or committers handbook. Some topics that come to mind are "How do I do a precommit build?" (tinderbox, etc), "How do I test my changes?" (there's a chapter, but it's not helpful), "How do I get involved with the project?", "How do I build quickly?", "What are mtree files?", etc. I was wondering if a) there are any other developers interested in this effort, b) where it should go (in the dev handbook?), and c) who would be interested in reviewing the work? I'd like to put it up on the wiki first (as I'm not an SGML wizard) and put it in SGML eventually, but I need feedback on whether or not this is doable.
This is interesting to me. I'd suggest an outline first, and not worrrying about markup until a rough framework is done. I can help with markup and review.
