Hey Dale, welcome! Good to see more action happening on this side of the fence. I just pushed a new version of the Docs Hack system, and I'm looking for user feedback (as well as finishing the book). If you could take a minute to give it a try, that would be great. It's at www.fedorareloaded.com. If you click on the editable books on this server link towards the bottom you'll be able to see the "Introducing Fedora" book. If you could choose a small piece that hasn't been written yet, and write something that would be great. I'm interested in overall experience feedback, first time user usability feedback, and feedback about the new auto tag closure feature. I'm working on getting it integrated with Fedora 17's app server, and integrating it with git next.

I encountered Tux occasionally over the years, it wasn't until I joined Red Hat that I became fully immersed in Linux. There is still lots to learn, but I plan to test my growing command line know-how by taking the RHCSA exam this year. I'm quite comfortable writing in Docbook XML, and familiar with the docs creation process from my months as a Red Hat writer. I must mention I'm also a stickler for grammar and spelling, and believe it's very important to publish accurate, well-written, and readable docs. > > To begin my involvement with Fedora Docs, I'll be working with the other RHEL Virtualization authors to bring these guides into Fedora.
