I mostly lurk in the Documentation Project, but I'm trying to make more contributions. I am currently coordinating the update of the RPM Guide and writing a chapter on printing for the User Guide. In the past, I've contributed to some wiki gardening and the Quick Start Guide.

I have a page of DocBook notes because I haven't found one elsewhere on the wiki. I also have a page of User:Bcotton/Useful_links because I can never seem to find what I'm looking for via the wiki search.
