Hi, everyone.
My name is Drew and I would like to join the "Docs Project." I am from
the US/Eastern time zone (UTC -4 currently). I am relatively new to
Fedora, but I have been using Linux for somewhere around 10 years
(mostly Debian-based systems until recently). I feel I would be a good
fit with the community because my passions are teaching people, and
technology. I feel like this group combines the best of both worlds.
My main interests are going to be proofreading/correcting and testing
for accuracy or doing some QA on the documentation. Eventually I would
like to write documentation of my own, but I feel like it could be a
while before I am ready to do something like that. I would like to
collaborate on projects in the interim, maybe. Though these are the
things I WANT to do, I am willing to do most things that the Docs
Project takes care of. I am a pretty easy-going guy and if I am asked to
do something, I will generally do it. I should be able to dedicate a few
hours each week to projects. Some weeks, I may be able to do more.
Though I do not have any real, notable experience with documentation, I
always got good grades on my papers in college, and friends would get me
to proofread for them. I do have experience in explaining things at the
level of a beginner end-user, though, and I feel that could translate
over to the documentations with a bit of work. My skills are more on the
social side than the technical side (though I wouldn't consider myself
to be too green on technical things). What I mean to say is that I do
well with people and can generally identify and empathize with my target
audience.
It is very nice to be here and I look forward to meeting and working
with you all. If you see me on IRC (rmeigs), feel free to say hi.
Drew

Welcome Drew
You can find us in #fedora-docs on freenode
Pete Travis is our dear leader[0], he will send a welcome with his list
of helpful URLs soon, but I will include some to get you started.
In the mean time why not tell us what editor you use and do you have any
experience with markup languages? At the moment we use DocBook but there
are some who would like to change to asciidoc.
You do not have to know any of that to contribute, corrections and
additions can be done in other ways. I am just curious.
Contributors should apply to the FAS group[1]
The Guides Table [2], is worth bookmarkin and a quick read.
Fedorahosted cgit[3] is the best way to find the correct repo link to
clone.
Regards
Stephen
