Hello everyone I am a new FreeBSD user, and I've been following the handbook. The quality of the documentation is really good, and it's really easy to follow. When I got to chapter 6 (Wayland) I had some troubles initially. Some of the problems were a bit difficult to troubleshoot, and I had to dig in the forums to find the fixes (which was tiring, but also fun). For this reason, I decided that I want to give back to the community and improve the chapter, adding hints to avoid the same pitfalls I fell into :) In the following days, I will try to redo everything in a virtual machine to make sure I don't miss anything that can be useful. I found in the archives an e-mail instructing on how to contribute, so I read the FDP and created a fork in Github, and I will be sending a PR when I'm done. Initially I thought about listing in this e-mail the various changes that I intend to make, but the e-mail was becoming really long and I'm not sure if that would have been useful. In case, let me know and I will share my ideas. The sections I expect to modify are: 6.2 Wayland Overview 6.3 The Wayfire Compositor See you later aliceitc
