Hi.

A new guide was added to the list: fdp-primer [1]

And with that, I discovered a few more issues with po4a. [2]

po4a still needs many help to work properly with Asciidoctor [3], if you
are experienced with Perl, your help will be very appreciated.

We can still translate FreeBSD Documents with Weblate or another PO
Gettext editor, but a few extra steps will be necessary when converting
translations to .adoc, which is the goal of this list. [1].
