I'm new to the GNOME documentation team, and I would really like to help out and do some work for this cycle, but I'm having a little bit of trouble getting started. I have read through most of the style guide and part of the handbook, and I guess I'm just feeling a bit intimidated by all the details. When I first decided to participate, I thought I would be able to simply jump in and start writing. Unfortunately, my experience as a journalist isn't quite as applicable to doc writing as I had initially imagined.
I think that I might be more successful if I could start with some straightforward, specific tasks. Perhaps somebody could give me some simple assignments, get me started, and help me avoid common pitfalls? I don't want to impose on anyone, but I think I'm going to need guidance in order to be productive.
