I am kinda new here and yesterday I was asking Rodrigo Padula for
some
document/url explaining how the project works, specific areas, people
involved, contacts etc so that I could have an idea how things works
and where I could be useful. He told all areas are well documented at
the wike, but he said he couldn't point a single location (or a toc)
for all this information.
How the Ambassadors Group works is indeed easy to obtain from the wiki.
To learn how the Fedora Project works is something complete different!
This is the reason why we do not encourage Candidates to start with the
Ambassador Group. Mentors should point new Candidates to other Groups first, to
learn the structures and the way to contribute.
Btw. normaly every Ambassador should contribute at least to one other Group
within the Fedora Project!
Since I am new here and I want to understand how things work I
propose
we could organize a simple guide for new ambassadors - if it's not
available yet. ;)
Mapping can maybe give a snapshot of the Fedora Project in it's current state.
Clint has started something related to this.

I do not think you can learn the Fedora Project from a Book or a Manual you
have to work in the Project and put some effort and time in exploring and
learning.
