Fixed a blatant lie regarding newsgroups. Added pointers to indexed arcihves of the mailing lists and usenet groups. Renamed the last part "Appendicies" Moved "PC hardware reference" to the Appendicies section and added an introduction. Fixed a dangling cross reference. (submitters.sgml)

<chapt>
Start populating the handbook with useful cross reference targets. All cross reference labels start with name of the file that contains them. A label for the top section level is simply the name of the file (omitting the .sgml). Other references within the file append a colon and onother name. For example, the label on the mailing list section in the file eresources.sgml is eresources:mail. This gives each file its own cross reference namespace.

FreeBSD is a volunteer effort, the user community itself also generally
serves as a `technical support department' of sorts, with electronic mail
and Usenet news being the most effective way of reaching that community.
The most important points of contact with the FreeBSD
user community are outlined below. If you are aware of other
Add definitions for the various freebsd-* mailing lists so that we are consistent in how they are referenced in the handbook, and so that they are now all clickable URLs. E.g. no more mis-matched freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org and hackers@freebsd.org. They are used just like the individual mail addresses defined in authors.sgml. E.g. &a.doc will expand to: FreeBSD documentation project mailing list <freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG> Be consistent in using the FreeBSD.ORG address. All references to freebsd.org were changed to FreeBSD.ORG. Use pre-defined addresses for some individuals where available.

If you want to subscribe yourself under a different name, or submit a
