Welcome, Kevin Becker!
I'm a very new contributor to the Fedora docs, and I'm still finding my way to doc projects that I can improve. Ben Cotton wrote up an excellent "Git getting started guide" for new members of the docs team here: User:Bcotton/git-for-docs-writers - Fedora Project Wiki
I find it to be very helpful to me as a new contributor.
Also, there are a number of "issues" in the pagure git repo for the "Quick Docs" that you could look at to see if one of those appeal to you. Otherwise all of the quick docs could use review and updating to make sure that the information pulled from the wiki is still current and correct for the Fedora 31 release.
Finally, I checked out your website and enjoyed all of the TRS-80 and Tandy retro computing that you have on your blog. Thanks for sharing that with our community.

Hello everyone, I just signed up for the mailing list and am interesting in contributing to the Fedora Docs project. I have not contributed to any open source projects in the past (apart from a tiny pull request that was accepted to systemd). I’ve written internal technical documentation for my job in the past and I occasionally write technical articles on topics of interest to me on my blog at http://kevinbecker.org but that’s about it.
I’m a network/system admin at a midsized company currently. I’ve worked in IT for the past 25 years or so and have experience with everything from NetWare in the old days, through most flavors of Windows, RHEL, and even macOS. I’ve used linux on and off since the mid 90s, starting out with Slackware, before moving on to Red Hat. I moved away from Linux on the desktop when OS X started to get usable in the early 2000s but over the past few years, after a little bit of distro hopping, I’ve moved back to Fedora as my primary desktop OS for personal use.
I’ve done a lot of scripting but very little “real” coding. I’ve considered getting into package maintenance, as I did Windows packaging for many years, but haven’t made the time to dig into it yet, so in the mean time I hoped that I might be able to give back to the community a bit by helping out with documentation.
