Hi All,

I've been lurking on this list for a while, but haven't posted before.

I've been using Gnome as my primary desktop for work and play since
2004. I was using Windows before that, since 3.11. I use Mac OS X and
Windows as secondary environments. I currently work at Red Hat as a
Technical Writer.

I'm quite interested in the transition from Gnome 2 to Gnome 3, as well
as the Mallard authoring system.

I wrote a content spec for a Gnome 3 chapter for the Fedora Project:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F15_User_Guide_Gnome_3_Chapter

I've been working on open source topic-based authoring systems, similar
to Mallard, using Docbook and DITA.

Thanks for thinking to say hello. 

That aouthoring-systems project sounds pretty interesting. It isn't one that would become self aware, and plot to kill all of humanity is it? Lana Brindley talked about such a docs-related project at the Open Help Conference. While it sounded like a good project for documentation, it did not sound like a good project for anyone who would like to survive attacks from hunter-killer robots.

Are there any particular areas of Gnome documentation where you were looking to contribute? Working on small Gnome-docs projects is fine, as is fending off attacks from human-cybernetic organisms.
