Hi everyone, I've been using Fedora for about a year now and want to contribute to Fedora Docs. I'm a CS student from Singapore (UTC+8) about to start college later this year. I have been using Linux for more than 5 years now and also have more than 6 years of hobbyist programming experience. Unfortunately I do not have much experience writing professional documentation, but I am very eager to learn.
My goal with contributing to Fedora Docs is to help newer users find their way around their systems, so they don't have to fumble around like I did. I think my Linux experience should be sufficient for me to help in writing some basic docs. I'm thinking of writing some quick docs to help other users in configuring and using their system. Would that be a good starting point? Thank you.
Here is my GPG key:

Yes, absolutely! This sounds great. Does the guide at https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/quick-docs contain sufficient information to get you started? Anything else you need?

Hi Matthew, thanks for the link. That guide is quite useful. I think I'll start by helping with the open issues there.
