Documentation Team

[David Vasta]

Thanks for the reply. Zach Kriese has made contact with me and I have
given him a few questions. 

Here is what I need to know that I am sure is documented some place but
I can't seem to find it:

1. What software do I need on my Ubuntu PC to start?
2. How do I find things to document?
3. How do I check it out?
4. How do I edit it?
5. How do I check it in and get someone to review it?

I know this is listed in parts and places but it all seemed to be very
scattered and I am either really slow or just not getting it. I think a
quick movie or web meeting could solve a bit of this. Once I figure it
out I would love to share with others and maybe put together a newbie
page.

Thanks for welcoming me aboard and I look forward to helping out as much
as I can.
