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'.

Since you referenced my blog, I must definitely reply to your message. :-)

Any contribution you might make is very much appreciated. Just reading the docs and doing a bit of proofreading is a valuable service. Of course, apply your time and talents as you are able.
Welcome to the Fedora Docs Project.
