Hi Olivier, I'll be delighted to work on this. I think what I'm also seeking is some guidance from you and the other documentation experts as to what you assess my current technical writing ability to be based on my basic portfolio (relayed off list if that suits better), and then assign work to me based on this.
For starters this task looks like a great way to begin, so I'll get stuck in and will be in touch!
