Awesome. I'd love to see this work.

A few options

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books//dev-model/
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books//developers-handbook/
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/

My preference is #2.

I'll be happy to review, and I'll also be happy to make sure the final

FWIW we use XML, not SGML, now, though there is little difference for
the author.
