Week 1
25 July 2022I really like Nate's blog. And I have been thinking about this a lot of time. I'm gonna copy the idea of these kinds of posts. But in my case these posts will be based on the FreeBSD Documentation Project. This is the first week that I'm gonna do this task. So I'm gonna publish this post each monday, don't punish me for the bugs in this post.
Collaborate with the FreeBSD Documentation Project
The duty of the FreeBSD Documentation Project is to keep the website, documentation, manual pages, etc in a really good shape.
Do you need to know programming to collaborate? Totally no. You only need to know how to read and write in English.
And if you have a mother tongue different from English you can collaborate translating the Project.
If you want to collaborate with us. You can contact me.
Situation
Right now this is the status of the bugs:
- In the website: 42
- In the documentation: 287
