For Linux, you want the Linux Documentation Project. I don't have a URL
to hand, but Yahoo (or linux.com for that matter) should have details.
For the FreeBSD community, I'm leading the charge. All of our online
documentation (such as http://www.freebsd.org/faq/ and
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/) is marked up in DocBook, and then
converted to HTML and other formats with Norm's stylesheets, plus a few
local customisations.
