Andy, it was good meeting you at the FUDCon! I had an idea for something to which you would be well-suited to contribute -- the Documentation Guide. Karsten and I have been really trying to get this thing in better shape for a new, spiffy release that really informs users how to get involved with our CVS/DocBook XML repository. I'm betting that you have some CVS experience (but if not, you don't need to know much to help here). We really need some fresh eyes on the Documentation Guide, if for no other purpose than to show us where we're missing chunks both big and small. If you check out the current Documentation Guide, you could read through it and start telling us where it needs work. A great way to do that is to file bugs in Bugzilla, since that helps us track our work easily, and we can check off items as we finish them by closing the bug reports. Are you interested in helping in this way? I will be around on IRC today and tomorrow and could give you pointers if and when you need any, as could many other contributors. -- Paul W.
