Hey, i've recently become interested in FreeBSD and of course stumbled
across the handbook. Have to say it's brilliant!
One thing however I found slightly annoying is that i've been reading the
handbook in my spare time, and chances are whilst reading it i've been on
either my tablet or my phone. Unfortunately the handbook doesn't seem to be
very mobile or tablet friendly.
My profession is currently a front end developer and I would love to tweak
the CSS file for the handbook, and send it over to you guys to see what you
think.
I think I speak for numerous people when saying we would be very
interested in that. The FDP Primer shows how to check out and build the
docs:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/
There is a lot there to digest. I (and others) can help you get a local
build of the website working to experiment on.
As an aside, note that we have beta-quality epubs which might be more
suited to mobile use. They are on the FTP server now:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.epub
The "beta" part is that image links are broken. I investigated that,
and it's something to do with the build environment--the links are fine
when built normally on a developer system. However, I ran out of time
to work on it. It only affects images, which are mostly in the
installation chapters, so most of the book is usable.
Having the handbook responsive would help a great deal, especially if for
example i'm configuring a system and wanted to lookup the handbook on my
phone for reference.
Let me know if this is something you guys would be interested in.
Absolutely!
