I didn't get around to adding the tester job.  But it is very needed.  There 
are two easy ways you can do this:

1) E-mail the author.  If I remember correctly, the USB one is Tom's so you 
can e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2) Probably the better choice. Add comments in the file.  Send e-mail to get 
signed up for the project.  Check out the file.  Add comments in remark tags.  
Start the comment with your openSUSE username so the author knows who it is 
from.  Stick them in the beginning or end of a para so it doesn't cause extra 
line breaks (although toms might have eliminated this issue).  Write whatever 
you want to say to the author.  Check in the changed file with a commit 
message something like "added remarks from testing".

We use the second method (remarks) a lot internally in our review process when 
developing files and it works really well. We can give each other feedback 
and note when a certain bit of info is still in a NEEDINFO state when waiting 
for developer feedback.  More details about our remark "codes" are in the 
style guide.

It is possible to build a version of the book with visible remarks.  So they 
can be visible in a review or editing state but not visible for a final 
product.  It is a pretty nifty tool.  If you use the <!-- --> style comments, 
they can't be made visible.  We mostly only use those for layout-related 
changes anymore.
