You can find project ideas in many places; the "Join" page Bruno suggested is obviously a great place to start. If you're serious about joining us, we recommend you follow the instructions on this wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Docs_Project One of the standard tasks for new Docs contributors is the Release Notes.[0] I also have a specific project idea, inspired by Jon Kent's difficulties with the documentation for Fedora packagers.[0] Difficult-to-use documentation intimidates potential packagers, and also makes it more difficult for current packagers to follow the guidelines. The Docs people could make a big difference here, and because it's all on the wiki, it's a good task for new contributors too! You might start by proofreading the content on a smaller page, like "Packaging:Ruby."[2] At minimum, you can revise sentences for style and clarity. If you don't know anything about packaging, that's fine too, because these guidelines serve both experienced and new packagers. After you understand a smaller page, you may be able to create or improve the documentation for new packagers. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, even (especially!) if you think it should be obvious. We don't always respond quickly, but we try our best.
