Full Name:

Brisbane, Australia (UTC+10)
Personal Goals for Fedora Docs:
My motivation for joining the fedora docs team is to learn more about
fedora, tech writing and documentation toolchaining while being able to give
something back to the community. However, I am a little unsure how I would
like to (or can) contribute to the fedora-docs project. The first area that
jumps out at me is the Desktop User Guide (?Fedora User Guide?)
Historical qualifications:
Other projects that I help out on are Inkscape (http://inkscape.org/) and
The openclipart library (http://openclipart.org/) Over at Inkscape, I help
out with writing docs and tutorials, bug triaging and responding to the
question tracker. I finished my Bachelor of Information Technology majoring
in Software Engineering and Multimedia in 2003. I'm a fairly new fedora user
(< 12 months) so I hope i can provide an insight for other new users after
making the switch to a free and open source operating system.

Hey Ryan,
Thanks for joining...I'm also in Brisbane.
Probably best to ask someone else, but I'm pretty sure you can
edit/add what you like to the wiki, and then that content is converted
to XML at the end.
Regarding the Desktop User Guide, there is a table of what is
happening at the bottom of the page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/DesktopUserGuide
There is also an Admin Guide,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide, which
at the moment is missing a few sections. The sections marked
"Edit-Ready" need someone other than the original person who wrote it,
go over it and make sure it makes sense, spelling, grammar etc. There
a guidelines for wiki editing here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiEditing#MarkingTechnicalTerms
I'm sure someone else will have better ideas.
Thanks,
Murray.
