Hi again guys,
First of all, thank you Mr. McAllister for your help with the GPG
key...clearly it's all fixed below.
Next, can anyone give me an idea of what you usually do with this
project? About how many people contribute to the Fedora Docs project?
How does the editing process occur (i.e. how do the editors circulate
the documents they edit)? Most importantly, though, how do you get
editing jobs? I'm all ready for some editing, so how am I informed of
the documents I should edit?
Thanks again,
Zach

Hey Zach,
Nice work with the GPG key. As I understand it, you don't need to get
a job, you just go for it.
Content starts off on a wiki, and then it is editied, and then
converted to docbook. The Desktop User Guide and Administration Guide
are ready for editing (refer to section that are marked "Edit Ready"):
Administration Guide:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide
I haven't looked at the Desktop User Guide, but there is a table at
the bottom, showing the current status:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/DesktopUserGuide
Maybe you could look at editing under the "Wordsmith" section...
You could ask John Babich, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnBabich,
the lead writer for the Desktop User Guide if you have further
questions...
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Murray.
