Welcome, and thanks already for your help with the FDP webpages.
If you are interested in helping maintain the FDP pages, take a look at
the source at:
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/fedora
The module is called 'web'.
At the FDSCo meeting today we discussed the idea of providing editing
services for the entirety of the Fedora website. While we are
investigating that, you can get your feet wet with our own pages.
Since that is in a CVS repository we are not in control of, submitting
patches to the bug report will do for now:

* What do you want to write about?
What ever strikes my fancy, if anything.
* What other documentation do you want to see published?
As much as possible.
* Do you want to edit for grammar/writing and/or technical accuracy?
Sure, why not. I'm great at picking nits.
* Anything else special?
I really want to help co-ordinate Fedora Docs Project with the
Fedora Legacy Project. I'm manage the web site and docs for the
Fedora Legacy Project. I'd like to make the two groups work together
to the benefit of both.
