While I'm confident neither with regard to my talent nor the extent of my free
time (
http://jmbuser.livejournal.com/1450.html), I certainly would like to
pitch in with the documentation project if there's a perception I might do
more good than damage.
I certainly have gotten a lot of mileage out of the Fedora project over the
past few years and, as a goal, would love to give a little back. Having a
substantial degree of scientific writing experience, I might be useful
with "volunteering to edit draft documents" or with "providing feedback on
the draft documentation published on the Wiki and the mailing list"
(
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join) if grammar/structure/clarity
issues are significant. On the other hand, If I sound relatively useless, I
won't be offended with a candid 'go away'.

PS Other 'introductory'-type material: I am a biologist/chemist by trade,
although I've been playing with computers back since trying to program my own
version of PacMan in machine language on my Commodore 64 back in junior high.
I've enjoyed using various versions of unix and linux back since my dad
bought me an old Sun in the 90's. These days my 'programming' efforts are
mostly confined to cheesy perl scripts and entertaining myself with lisp.
