RE: I would like to start small

["Kevin"<pac3590 myway com>]

I read the GNOME documentation style guide and the docbook
documentation. I just dont understand how to help improve the
wiki for developers or make download pdf for them.

I would like to write a guide for the  newbie package maintainer
like which libraries they need to be familiar with,
which tools they need etc. How can I do this and who do I need to chat with?

I got time on my hands and I could begin today..
