The doceng@ team is a body to handle some of the meta-project issues associated with the FreeBSD Documentation Project; for more information, see FreeBSD Doceng Team Charter.

During the last quarter, Graham Perrin (grahamperrin@) and Pau Amma (pauamma@), were granted documentation commit bits.

Several items are pending and in discussion:

  • Mirroring the Website and Documentation portal with the GeoDNS infrastructure of the project.

  • How to handle Trademarks in the documentation.

  • Remove outdated translations from the Website and Documentation portal.
