List of docs that need doing:

regular total faq
more regular more commonly asked questions faq
A who's who of RiscBSD - mainly for contacting prople with submissions -
could also include things like

A. Random  - Misc Kernel arm32 docs (Will have to stop at end of Jan -
				     any volunteers to take over?)

We can use this to make sure everything is looked after by someone. Or will
be looked after by someone when the current person leaves.

I'm cc'ing this to the RiscBSD documentation Project:

to subscribe mail: Majordomo@physig.ph.kcl.ac.uk

with a body of:

subscribe rdp <your e-mail address>

P.S. I'm currently playing with the perl mirrot script and putting together
some automaticly updated web pages with as many unix pertinant faq's and
links as pos - I want to produce a unixdoc set - the comp.unix.questions
faq, a vi tutorial I found etc...
