Hi can I contribute if I do not use IRC (Freenode). I find that my time is limited. I can read an email, so I do not have to be online to watch the chats. I prefer to have some documents, code, executable, script thrown my way, and I can install and test same, or update /write good concise accurate documentation I used to prgram in assembler, for speed and size, but currently do most of my coding in C or C++. I do substantial writng on technical stuff, and when I reread it a few days later, I am impressed with how good it is. (Self praise is no glory, but good lucid explanations in grammatical sentence construction helps) Some feedback please. Please mention Fedora-Join in the subject line. * * Regards * Leslie * *Mr. Leslie Satenstein *50 years in Information Technology and going strong.

Hi can I contribute if I do not use IRC (Freenode).

I find that my time is limited. I can read an email, so I do not have to be online to watch the chats. I prefer to have some documents, code, executable, script thrown my way, and I can install and test same, or update /write good concise accurate documentation

I used to prgram in assembler, for speed and size, but currently do most of my coding in C or C++.

I do substantial writng on technical stuff, and when I reread it a few days later, I am impressed with how good it is. (Self praise is no glory, but good lucid explanations in grammatical sentence construction helps)
