I agree. A common effort would speed things up and would draw on a wide range of experence and knowledge. Since I assume that most of the readers to this group are running some version of [Free|Net|386]BSD then each has, at least, knowledge of _ONE_ specific area. If each of us were to write a section describing how to performing a task such as "Installing a new user" or "How to set the time". Then we would have a book in very short order. Any comments?
