Welcome to the team! Would you be interested in helping out with some of
the more technical items on our todo list? For example, there are a few
scripts that we use which could benefit from some small improvements
(the DocBook -> HTML converter springs to mind).

Failing that, there's always plenty to be done with the system
documentation.

Thanks,

Phil
