I am hoping to attend SELF, and would be a willing worker at a Docs
FAD!  As I usually do, I'll point out that the more specific you are
about the FAD goals, the more likely we can reach them.  So for
instance[1]:

* Finish Chapters 5, 7, 8, and 9 of Fedora Foo Guide

* Convert Fedora Bar Guide to a Mallard-based, packaged document
  installable to the Documentation menu and browseable by the online
  help system in GNOME + KDE


= = =
[1] These aren't necessarily accurate, just examples of how to state
    the goals so it's easier to figure out what to work on while
    there.
