Hi GNOME Docs team, I signed up on the list, and wanted to say hi to the many folks who I don't know. My name's Paul Frields, and I've been a GNOME user and fan for many years. I've worked in the Fedora Project's documentation team since not long after the project started in 2003, although for several years it was at the novice level. Later I started to get a little more savvy about XML, DocBook, and other tools. I maintained several guides such as our Documentation Guide, the Installation Guide, and the Release Notes, and was a principal contributor from about 2006-2009.
After I joined Red Hat in 2008 as the Fedora project leader it was a lot harder for me to find time for Docs, but I do keep tabs on what's going on, and I still have commit access there and occasionally help fix some bugs when I have free moments. For the GNOME 3.0 release I contributed some patches and enjoyed using your tools. I love Mallard and the way it presents documentation! By the way, I have three lingering patches here, which I should have sent along sooner and just completely failed to do so: http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/gnome-user-docs/git-patches/ I'd like to keep working on some of these docs through the 3.2 phase, but my time has become really short the next few weeks because of some other projects I'm involved in. I did enjoy working with the team and hope you guys wouldn't mind me dropping by to help in the future. I've signed up on the gnome-docs-list to keep up with what's going on. Would it be worthwhile for me to apply for project membership and commit access? -- Paul _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
