I would highly recommend that you come by our channel on IRC and meet some folks who help out here. If you don't know much about IRC, you can find out more information here about how to get connected: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IRC We are at Freenode (irc.freenode.net) in channel #fedora-docs. I'm 'stickster', give me a shout when you show up. (And by the way, if you have any problems with that wiki page, let us know here and we'll get you fixed right up.) We are always looking for people to help with guide maintenance, and there are several folks on the list who are maintaining our Installation Guide, Deployment Guide, and other interesting docs. For the most part, helping with those guides should be well within the reach of a novice. You'd definitely be able to test the material that's there to see if it works for the next release of Fedora, and if not, report a bug for us to track and resolve the problem. I look forward to meeting you on IRC! -- Paul W.
