Convert articles from the website to wiki articles
The NetBSD Project
Status: Closed
Time to complete: 24 hrs
Mentors: Iain Hibbert, Julian Coleman, Julian Fagir
There are several articles on the website which should be converted to wiki articles like here: http://netbsd.org/docs/misc/index.html
On the way, you could separate obsolete articles from newer ones.
Though this work could also partially be done by a tool like pandoc, the articles on the website have different format: Sometimes docbook, sometimes html, sometimes a mix of them. And pandoc doesn't result in such good results as hand-conversion might do.

how many articles i have to do for complete the task ?
Well, the task estimates 24 hours, which I think is shorter than some other tasks. I'm thinking 30 at the most.
I would like to work on this task.

Hi,
this task is only about the single linked page.
If you find more articles on the NetBSD website you would like to convert, tell us, we then can add more tasks for them.

Hi
regarding a list of pages, the task says that there are several on the website and shows one such. There is a main "Documentation" page at
http://www.netbsd.org/docs
which has many links listed. Some of the links point to shorter documents which are part of the above document, or part of "The NetBSD Guide" (converting chapters from that is a separate task), and some of the links point to standalone documents which may be of varying lengths.
If you have CVS installed on your local computer, you can also download the source code for the entire website with a command such as
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot checkout -A -P htdocs
(that may take some time, and require a lot of storage)
or you can browse the website source at
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/htdocs/

Since I am not registered as a NetBSD developer I wrote to schmonz@NetBSD.org asking for write priviliges to the wiki 4 hours ago and still haven't heard from them. Is there anything you can do to help me with this problem since my time is running?
Hi
sorry we have been unable to fix up write privileges to the main netbsd wiki for the code-in, but we created a mirror site at
http://komkon2.de/nbwiki/doku.php
which can be used.. we need an email address and username from you for this
OK then my mail is syliconsynapse@gmail.com and my username is starburst. Can I get an account?
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
Hi,
thank you very much for this submission. Could you please just do one more thing: Make all the commands and filenames called in the page with backticks instead of single quotes. Then Markdown will render it monospace.
E.g.
When I try 'netstat -r' I get an endless stream of question marks.
