Interested in helping with documentation

[Sid]

The guide is here, https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/ , it takes downloading the documentation source code, adjusting your console editor for tabs and spacing, and dealing with igor. Once you get that, submit it to https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/

I've proposed suggestions, including changing the configuration directory, but they sit there for months. Documentation contributors are understaffed. It is discouraging.

I had another one that gave a more detail, gave how to configure the login screen, and took away focus from Gnome, XFCE and KDE for universal settings for any window manager. I deleted that one after it was ignored for even more months, and tried to get the most basic edit in.

> I'm pretty new to the community, but I'm interested in helping out in 
various ways. I don't know that there's a lot I can contribute yet 
(being so new), but I have noticed there are places in the documentation 
that are out of date and I could fix. For example, section 5.6.1 lists 
the Xorg xdm config files as being in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm which it 
seems they are not in newer versions of FreeBSD. I found them in 
/usr/local/etc/X11/xdm. So at least when it comes to noticing errors 
like that, and fixing them, I think I can contribute.

> I know the basics of Docbook and version control, so if there is a 
preferred way to submit corrections using diff files or something, I 
should be able to pick up on that fairly quickly.

> Anyway, I'd love to help out, and just looking for some guidance on how 
to get started.
