 I started working on it in `guide/`, though the original proposal
 was to store it in `guide/netbsd`. However, whoever wants to change the
-directory can do so.
+directory should feel free to do so.

+## The new NetBSD guide
+
+The NetBSD guide, as well as its contents, is outdated. Of course there's 
+current documentation as well in it, but many parts of it are outdated.
+The question is: What is the future of the NetBSD guide?
+
+Should we continue having something ordered by *book chapters*? Or should we 
+make it completely unordered with many howtos inside a wiki, which is also 
+printable, but not in a useful order?
+
+In my opinion, we should continue having a set of articles where the basic 
+subsystems of NetBSD are explained, but in the wiki. It shouldn't be too 
+difficult to create a book from that if you want to.
+From all these subsystems, imho, the following topics should be covered:
+
+System basics:
+
+ * Installation
+ * Security (CGD, PGP, veriexec, PAM)
+ * Disk handling (GPT, disklabel, MBR), creating filesystems, handling USB 
+   flashdrives, automounting, CDs
+ * RAIDs with raidframe
+ * LVM
+ * Audio setup
+ * Keeping a NetBSD installation up-to-date
+ * The rc system, as compared to systemd and SysV
+ * Editing with vi
+ * X setup, graphics drivers, console drivers
+ * Backups with dump/restore and other options
+ * Printing (with cups?)
+
+Networking:
+
+ * Basic network setup
+ * inetd setup
+ * Bluetooth
+ * DNS server setup and related issues
+ * Firewalling (describing *all* or linking guide of others)
+
+Building NetBSD:
+
+ * Building the system with `build.sh`
+ * Configuring the kernel
+ * Fetching sources, staying -current
+
+Using extra packages:
+
+ * Emulating Linux
+ * Using pkgsrc
+ * Using binary packages, using pkgin
+ * Installing a desktop environment
+ * Things to remember (e.g., no mplayer)
