Hi, I would like to help!

Hi Troy,

Everyone is welcome to join the Documentation Team. Too bad you can't
come around in the scheduled meeting but results of that will
definitely be posted in the wiki. I'm sure you'll find something to
contribute when you get to see the whole picture of what's coming
ahead. Like Corey has said, the easiset way get yourself familiarized
with what we generally do is pull down our current documents from
subversion so you have yourself a working copy. This link will show
you how to do it:

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DocteamStepByStepRepository

Once you have a working copy, you'll see various files that comprise
the current efforts of the Documentation Team. Check out these files
at your pleasure. The xml files can be opened with yelp. You do not
need to know this stuff to join in, but it helps. Just ask away if
you're stumped and I'm sure the others will give a reply.

Hope this helps,

Jerome
