Generally we are, with the caveat that getting volunteers to have the time
to look at submissions can require persistence and manual pestering.
You'll likely want to read
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/ and submit
some bugzilla entries
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Documentation).
Feel free to hop on to #bsddocs on efnet as well, whether for
questions/discussion or to pester people to look at your patches.
