I have some software experience and would be glad to help if possible. And now... (3 November 2019) Installed FreeBSD 12.1 on the whole 500G SSD using ZFS. After messing around with trying to configure Xorg, I used the defaults and got XFCE going well. I would like to help port TDE packages to FreeBSD. But have a lot to learn about using gitea, etc. Will work on it.
