Hi Sidney, and welcome.

I speak only for myself here, but it's nice to see the growing interest in the
Squid documentation. It's badly in need of an update, especially with the
release of Squid 3 hopefully not far away. There has been some success in
recent efforts with various howto guides, Oskar Pearson's
squid-docs.sourceforge.net and of course Visolve's configuration guide, and
the Team's ongoing updates to the docs on www.squid-cache.org. Unfortunately,
the work seems to be mostly independent, so I think it's a great idea to form
an "official" subproject, or consolidate under an existing one.

I'm currently working on converting the FAQ to DocBook XML and I can
contribute my work so far. I'm not very familiar with SourceForge, but maybe
it's the best choice. Are there such things as subprojects there? If not, I
wonder if we can help revive Oskar's project...

Gerard
