It's that time of year, again!  Time to hit the streets to get all the
new Fedora goodness documented!

There are two kinds of people receiving this message.  The first kind of
recipient are those that had a beat assignment for F10.  If you are one
of these please go over to the wiki[1] and verify that your assignment
is still correct.  While you are over there please remove the "*" from
your name so we know you are still on board.  The second kind of
recipient are those that were not on the beat list but probably should
be.  If you are one of these please go over to the wiki[1] and sign up
for one of the open slots.  Don't wait around because the best slots go
fast!

As a docs newbie... can I tag along with an existing beat writer?

Thanks

Andrew,
Absolutely.  I'd surf on over to the wiki and bring up the Beat
Assignments[1] and pick out on that looks interesting and contact that
Beat writer directly.

I'm a relative newbie, but since nobody else has put up their hand you are 
welcome to stalk me.

I'll also make a shameless plug for:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_be_a_release_notes_beat_writer

but mostly, find a beat that excites you and dive in!

I am also a new to the docs team I would like to write but would anyone be willing to  mentor me, or just kinda check my work and keep me in the right direction?

Ideally, we all watch each other.  For example, I watch all of the
beat pages, and you can use the recent changes (feed) to watch much
more.  This helps me catch things early; not mistakes as much as minor
course corrections early in the journey.

That said ... we definitely need a mentoring-type program for Docs,
and I happen to have noticed that Sparks is working on one.  In
advance of that and considering I have a bit more free time within
Docs now, I'm willing to sponsor anyone, starting with Zach.

Zach -- come grab me on IRC next time (nick: quaid); I think I
actually sponsored you in the Fedora account system (FAS) for the
'docs' group.  We can chat about what you need and how I can help.
