First of all, I'm personally really keen in having edubuntu
documentation in our repo. So in theory I'm in favour of new members
joining to work on that.

However, I think basically to have svn access, what we should look for
is 1) good English and knowledge of our styleguide 2) familiarity with
docbook (sending a few patches that validate), 3) familiarity with svn,
and 4) dedication. These two guys obviously have 4), but personally I'd
prefer to see some patches before confirming (1-3).

If they start by sending some patches to the list on the docs that
currently exist, or even new docs, then we can become more familiar with
their work.

Currently, weekends are generally better for me. How did that wiki page
with timings go? Have we got an obviously preferred timeslot?
