Hi, guys. Some of you may know me already, others not :). I joined RH at the start of this year, in the Fedora QA team, as a sort of community cheerleader. I've found myself contributing to a lot of documentation-related stuff - I sent in a few items for the F11 release notes, and I'm the main writer / maintainer for the F11 common bugs page, at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs . We just had an interesting discussion on fedora-test-list: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-June/msg00345.html which touches on lots of documentation issues, and led to me suggesting that those of us in QA / IRC support / forum support etc roles who are interested in documenting various types of issues should bite the bullet and join the documentation group, so here I am! As that thread suggests I'd particularly like to help improve co-ordination between the docs team, QA, Bugzappers, and front-line support volunteers like the people who help others in the forums and IRC, to try and make sure we have a coherent plan for documenting useful information for regular users in a small set of canonical locations, and we all consistently direct people to those locations when they ask about such issues. But I'm happy to pitch in in other ways too! I don't have any kind of formal documentation training, but somehow I wind up writing a lot of the stuff. :) As well as the notes I submitted for F11 and the common bugs page, I wrote a lot of stuff for Mandriva, when I worked there: I did a large chunk of the release documentation for Mandriva 2007 Spring, 2008, 2008 Spring and 2009, including most of the writing for the Release Notes, Release Tour, Errata (like common bugs) and Reviewers' Guide for each release. see for e.g.: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1 http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1_Tour http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1_Notes http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1_Errata As you may have already noticed, I also have a tendency to write too much!
