Apologies in the delay in getting back to you. We've all been at Gluster Developer Summit and was mostly away from our computers. I'm speaking on behalf of Amye and documentation team members here, so you can get started right way. A good thing to try is the following: 1. Clone the documentation repo[1]. 2. Try to build the documentation (Documentation for mkdocs[2]). The initial contribution we've listed is for you to find something that needs improvement and fix it. I would recommend taking a look around to see if you can find something to do. The bugs we have on file aren't very useful for initial contributions. I have a couple of suggestions on something you can start with 1. Install aspell[3] and check for spelling mistakes across the documentation. Submit pull requests for fxing them. 2. Install Linkchecker[4] and run it against gluster.readthedocs.org and catch any links that lead to 404. If you have questions, please free to ask on the list and we're happy to help.
