I think it's stable now; the issue wasn't stability as much as "missing".

I've been doing something similar with the DragonFly BSD Log (
http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/ ).  Perhaps we should have
something similar to freebsddiary.org?

You mean a shell script that automates certain common processes?  That
would be handy.

I have been thinking that instead of larger documents like the Handbook,
we could work on creating a series of how-to documents, like other
systems.  This may be more maintainable, and translates more directly to
Wiki material, which is so far the easiest way for folks to contribute.
