Thanks, the Wiki and Howto page are just what I was looking for!  I
had only used the mailing lists so far.

 Something like how to edit a video in FreeBSD, not official documentation.

 I usually have to google things to find them, and often find the
 answer on stackoverflow or howtoforge.  Sometimes it hard to find
 things in google, and sometimes I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

A weblog post would be nice.  If you feel really adventurous you can
even set up a 'FreeBSD Wiki' with your tutorials.

Another good thing you can do is to prepare SGML articles for your
mini-guides and post them to freebsd-doc for inclusion to the official
doc/ tree.  This is a bit more difficult than a personal wiki though,
because: (1) you would have to learn SGML to write the source of the
article itself and (2) you have to convince the doc team that the
article is sufficiently good and necessary before it's committed and,
more importantly, (3) it would be nice if you are prepared to 'maintain'
the text in the future.

There's a howto section of the forums that's intended for precisely this
kind of thing.
