+  <h3>... testing</h3>
+
+  <p>The best thing you can do is download the latest release, install it, and try all your favorite Java applications.  If they don't work, see below.</p>
+
+  <h3>... reporting a bug</h3>
+  <p>If you find an application that does not work, or crashes, here are the steps you should follow before reporting it:</p>
+  <ol>
+    <li>Try it again.</li>
+    <li>Check your settings for this application.  Check to see if you made a mistake in starting it up.</li>
+    <li>Try it on a different platform.  If you have access to a reference platform, try it there.  (We need to determine if it is an application error, a Java bug, or a FreeBSD specific bug.)</li>
+    <li>Narrow down the problem.  If it is your own code, narrow down the bug to the offending code.  Otherwise, determine the steps required to reproduce the problem.</li>
+    <li>Notify the JDK porting team.  Send email to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.  Be sure to include the steps you have followed.</li>
+    <li>Finally, and most importantly, be willing to work with the team to fix the problem.</li>
+  </ol>
+
+  <h3>...writing documentation</h3>
+  <p>Everyone can help here.  If you have a suggestion to add to the documentation, write it up and send it to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p>
