Hi I'm new to the FreeBSD world and was just reading through some of the 
documentation and noticed a slight error. It's not huge but the 
contribution section of the FreeBSD page says to suggest any mistakes no 
matter how small. Sorry if I have not gone about this in the correct way.

In the project model handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/dev-model/book.html

There is a very slight typo in paragraph 1 of chapter 1.

It reads /"A project model is a means to reduce the communications 
overhead in a project. As shown by [Brooks, 1995 
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/dev-model/book.html#BROOKS>], 
increasing the number of project participants increases the 
communication in the project exponentionally. FreeBSD has during the 
past few year increased both its mass of active users and committers, 
and the communication in the project has risen accordingly. This project 
model will serve to reduce this overhead by providing an up-to-date 
description of the project."/


The third sentence /"FreeBSD has during the past few year"/ should most 
likely read "FreeBSD has during the past few years".



Once again, my apologies if I did this the wrong way.

Cheers,

Rohan
