Hello, I'm Ryan Paul, a tech journalist and computer programmer with an affinity for open source software and the GNOME desktop environment. I have written articles on a wide variety of topics for a number of publication venues including Linux Journal, Tux Magazine, NewsForge, IT Managers Journal, Linux Weekly News, and Ars Technica.
I would like to join the GNOME Documentation Project so that I can help improve the quality of my favorite desktop environment and contribute to the betterment of the GNOME community. I have some previous experience with the DocBook XML format as well as LaTeX and a number of other open publishing technologies. I generally prefer to work with XML whenever possible. I am a relatively capable Python/Ruby programmer, and I am willing to help improve documentation technologies as well as the documentation itself. I am currently reading through the GNOME Documentation Style Guide, and I hope to begin contributing shortly. I glanced through the available tasks listed at the GNOME Live wiki, and I think it would be best if I started with something relatively simple. If the Preferences section is still in need of Removable Drives and Media preferences coverage, I think I can handle that. I am currently using Ubuntu Dapper which has GNOME 2.13.92, a build from February 28. Is the removable drives dialog in that build the same as the removable drives dialog that will appear in the 2.14 release? I'm looking forward to working with all of you! Thanks! -- Ryan Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
