I'm doing the happy dance as we speak.

Sign me up for documentation. I know not many people like doing it, and wel=

to be honest, I don't really mind at all.

I'll cc to the list because I know not all of you know me. I've been using=
=20
gentoo since 1.0 something days, a (check it) mandrake convert. I grew up=20
playing with windows boxes. Mandrake offered me a glimpse into what compute=
rs=20
could do. And then I got gentoo and it's been full speed ahead since.

I'm not particularly gifted with coding. However I've got some skills with=
=20
xml/xslt, am getting the hang of bash, would like to learn python, and a=20
reasonable amount of experience with running production servers. Our little=
=20
computer collective office here in Portland, OR has a small network of gent=
oo=20
boxes as well as my home network.

I'm currently a documentation developer for gentoo. I'd love to contribute =
my=20
doco skills to the server effort and also wherever else I can fit in. I've=
=20
been following the development of this effort very closely as the ideas=20
discussed are of great interest to me.


Thanks :)
