I am really interested in doing a lot more work. I may be appearing
to be
one of the 95% of 600+ people who dont get involved, but i am not. I didnt
really get on with cvs much, as i didnt understand its usage, as those who
helped when i first joined are painfully aware (Karsten, Paul, etc). I am
however keen and active as work allows, and to learn all i need to in order
to be an active writer/editor. Please accept this as an offer to do the
writing. Any editor who is willing to help refine my work to technical docs
standard, please guide me. Below i have just outlined my technical
background, just for those wishing to see if i am right for such a project.
Karsten, consider me a part of the team, or not, but i do wish to work and
be involved in both writing and wiki editing. I shall hope to devote more
time to this good project.

Adam, we *do* appreciate your efforts. Besides, 5% of 600+ is at least
30 people, and we definitely want you on that list! Don't take any
previous comments as directed at anyone in particular, I just wanted to
make Karsten feel better. :-)
Just because you don't grasp CVS fully right now, doesn't mean you can't
learn. I was very tentative about it when I joined at first, and now
it's old hat. People are available to help you -- that's why we hang
around on Freenode IRC at #fedora-docs. If you'd rather drop mail to
this list, we can help you there too.
If you'd like to learn more about CVS, here's a couple places to start:
