That's okay. While coding is always awesome, few roles in Fedora really
require it.

Always useful! One way you can put this to use is to write for
http://fedoramagazine.org/ -- see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine for
ways to contribute. (Right now, we're looking to increase the number of
posts -- small, daily things are better than big, polished articles,
although of course we can use those too.)

You might be interested in helping with the Fedora Scientific spin -- see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Scientific_Spin. Or, back to the Magazine
idea, articles about science and Fedora would be great.

Of course. :)

Depending on what kind of reviewing you mean, here, this could be articles
about programs you like in the Magazine. Or, perhaps you mean technical
review of packages? In that case, we can _always_ use more. See
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process>

Sounds great, and welcome!
