But I need to pick up a TNC first. Sounds like you're in my neighborhood (roughly speaking) from your sig, David! Before plunging into anything, why don't you check out the following URL: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/NewWriters Those will get you started. The first one has a number of links... It's quite a lot to digest at once, but if you can understand the workings of the FDP from this material -- and more importantly, if you simply follow the checklist in the second URL -- you will be well on your way to contributing! You can always fill in the blanks later. Plenty of people here will direct you to resources as you come up with questions. The wiki is a good place to start. The installation guide you mention is (happily) underway and will be ready for FC4 release. We have a number of other documents that could use participation by enthusiastic folks, such as that Samba-LDAP tutorial, so we look forward to your assistance! -- Paul W.
