This is exactly my profile: running GNU/Linux since 1998
(don't remember exactly "when"), I just migrated to OpenBSD.

A French site helped me a lot: https://wiki.obsd4a.net/doku.php

It offers OpenBSD man pages and additional articles (in French):
https://wiki.obsd4a.net/doku.php#documentations_par_nos_soins

I could also ask questions on their forum.

Some traditional questions that I needed support on:
* pf migration.
* How to resize a partition // Dual boot installer with Linux.
* how to mount a FAT USB drive.
* How to install XCFE.
* How to customize the installer.
* How to burn a CD.

So I don't agree with your point here: although OpenBSD man pages truely are the best
in the world, there is a need for a third-party technical site publishing articles.

I might be interested in launching/running such a site, as the infrastructure seems
very minimal and as written previously success relies mainly on close maintenance.

Kind regards,
