How do the BSD groups feel about documentation?

OpenBSD/OpenSSH believe complete docs should be included with the software, but those docs do not necessarily need to be friendly to new users. Otherwise they rely on the countless tutorials & howtos, and good luck!

(At times I fear that their solution is "MWL will write it!" which is... suboptimal. Yes, I wrote a best-selling book on OpenSSH, and I rely on that for paying the rent, but ideally, every project would have newcomer-friendly docs. But nobody's written them.)
