Hey All, It looks like Florian sent this just to me, and so I'm passing it along to the group.
It looks like the documentation for Evolution is in need of some proofreading and fixing of various TODOS. That might be a good place to get started, especially considering you already have a technical writing background. Here's a blog post about the new Evolution user help: http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/2011/08/04/new-evolution-user-docs/ I hope that at least helps to get you oriented. Best of luck, and let us know if you have any questions!
