Welcome!  I'm getting familiar with your work, including your recent
article in Linux Format. ;-)  Your skill, experience, and critical eye
are most welcome.

Here's a useful page to get started with, you've probably seen it, but
we like it as boilerplate:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/NewWriters

Jump in to the discussions, get your CVS access, especially if you
intend to write in XML natively, a Wiki account, and have at it.

Any questions or thoughts to start?
