[BSDCert] collaborative authoring project to quickly write a beginning BSD admin book

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Please join the "bsdwiki" at http://bsdwiki.reedmedia.net/

It is a collaborative, short-term open source authoring project to quickly 
write a book covering the basics from the 2005 BSDA Certification 
Requirements Document. The BSD Certification Group's BSDA (BSD Associate) 
Certification is for BSD Unix system administrators with light to moderate 
skills.

This bsdwiki contains over a hundred pages each with the topics defined by 
the BSD Certification Group. They provide details on where to get started 
and some are in the process of being written. 

And a PDF in book format is periodically generated from this wiki content.

Please join the project as an author, technical reviewer or as a reader 
who shares feedback and makes improvements.

The book has clear goals and timeline. We don't expect anyone to commit to 
a long-term project.

The project will be over at the end of February.

If you have any questions, first visit the questions page. (Also feel free 
to email me off-list.)

Also thank you very much to the 30+ volunteers that have tested the site, 
started writing, or have shared valuable feedback.

Thank you,

Jeremy C. Reed

p.s. Also we will have two "writeathons" scheduled soon.
