In case of BSD, they had been published already.
Even though they are outdated, they still useful.

Book:
The Design and Implementation of the 4.3 BSD Unix OS by Leffler et al.

Dr Dobb's Journal:
386BSD by Jolitzs

And various articles published in other journals - some of them
are included in 4.3 and 4.4 BSD manuals.

Please read FAQ. It is explained in there.
