You mean I'm not special and unique?! ;) Say it ain't so, Jorge! :)

Rockin' the docs!! I'm filling in Friday, but I can switch to Tuesday if
that's easier for Matthew to move?

I'd love to have the following sessions:

1. The Docs Team: overview of wiki, system documentation and mailing list
2. The wiki: our lowest hanging fruit, learn how to contribute here first
3. System documentation: The help button, the server guide and what it
means to be "official" docs
4. Bugs and docs: how the doc team fixes mistakes and how you can help
5. The Tool Chain for system docs: tool chain overview
6. Bazaar: how to get the system docs
7. DocBook: reading and loving XML markup
8. Translation: intro to pot files and rosetta

Of course those are just ideas. What would the lurkers on the mailing
list like to know more about? Let's flood the channel with the most
number of participants EVER! :)

emma
