Hiyas Barry,

I have a padawan (UBT trainee) that I am mentoring, he is interested in
admin / wiki / doc work. I've had a chat with Phil Bull and part sold my
little slave to you all. As he is still a trainee, he will have lots of
questions - please have the patience with him, he's an excellent padawan and
as doc / wiki / admin work is not the most glamorous jobs, it's nice to have
a youngster who is interested in learning that side of things. He is called
Daniel (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CensoredBiscuit) Any assistance you give him
will be repaid in time he will devote to your teams. (He has a 'twin'
(another Daniel), who belongs to DuaneDesign who along with others from the
Lubuntu team who know wiki and documentation I have also 'volunteered' for
the 11.04 documentation and wiki work). As ever, I am always available to
assist you and the teams (It's just fun kidnapping others to help, each of
us must have a a hobby, that's mine :P ).

Regards,

Phill.
