The NetBSD Guide was originally written by Federico Lupi who managed the sources, coordinated updates, and merged all contributions on his own. Since then, it has been updated and maintained by the NetBSD www team. The Guide has progressed thanks to the contributions of many people who have volunteered their time and effort, supplied material and sent in suggestions and corrections.
