[Bf-docboard] Back!

[Jasper Mine]

Hey Guys,

My apologies go to spiderworm for my insulting comment about him not  
understanding my ill formed text.

Seems most everybody is in agreement to MediaWiki, and the assignment  
of rolls.  MediaWiki is already in place, so S68, I think you should  
select some of these eager people with good contributing history here  
to start setting precedence of importance certain sections of this  
documentation.

I volunteer updating the how-to contribute to the documentation  
project from prior manuals, as some of these text have become lost  
with time :)

I will do it with my cvs client, and wysiwyg xml editor as this is  
easier for me then waiting for silly web interface to update, I have  
very slow 28.8 modem line.  In addition I also do a redundant version  
on the MediaWiki.

Now I only do this if someone says, YES! we want this updated. From  
there maybe more sections.

OK,
JasperMine
