o One of the most useful things will be a 'mirror' or 'branch' of the
doc/ tree in a repository where you can collaborate with others,
prepare your changes, integrate them with the rest of the doc/ tree.
For one-person teams, like me working on doc/el_GR.ISO8859-7/ this
is not so important, since I can always rebase my own work on recent
doc/ snapshots.
o The next important thing will be a doc/FOO subdirectory where you
keep your work. Pick a name that matches the existing scheme, and
stick to it.
o If you don't already have a doc-committer in your team, it will also
be nice to find someone who can review your changes, and push them
to our CVS tree. I don't know Mongolian, so I can't do this but
other people from freebsd-doc may be able to help

The `fdp-primer' book is a good starting point. It contains a lot of
useful information about how to work with the doc/ tree, what tools we
use, and other stuff which is constantly updated.

Ideally, it would be nice if you worked with SGML files, in a format
that can be committed directly to our CVS tree.
Having a repository with your work as a 'branch' of doc/ will make
things much much easier if you go this way.

The best advice I can give you is:
* Set up a repository for your own work
* Start hacking the doc/mn_XXX/ tree already :)
