Sorry to hear that :(
I'll do some QE on it and see if it can be fixed. This is the sort of
feedback we need though, we need to know when things don't work.
Documentation is an endless hurdle with testing and assurance. This
sort of feedback is helpful and much appreciated.

I hope I assisted with this issue. I hit many of the same problems (and
a few others myself). There are certainly problems with the guide. The
main issues are:
* gpg isn't straight forward nor presented in a step by step manor, some
steps are missing.
* some people (including myself) did not have ssh access configured
before starting.
* The wiki editing process is not documented. Tooltips from within the
wiki itself are nether helpful nor practical. We need a separate section
within the original Join information describing the steps to get
connected and editing on the wiki.
In all honesty the process is too long. I've been a community
contributer to a number of projects before fedora and none of them too
this long or involved so many loops. It probably means we are losing the
few how do not have the patience nor the troubleshooting skills to
persevere through such a process. Can we automate it :D
