+ The variety of tools and topics covered by Fedora Docs can make joining an
intimidating process. <emphasis>Don't get discouraged!</emphasis>
Experienced conributors might be doing in depth work, but participation doesn't have
to be detailed.

+ We welcome as much time as you would like to contribute, but you don't need to
invest a large amount of time to help. Producing quality documention is more than just
writing. The work needs to be proofread, periodically checked to see if updates are
required, reviewed for technical accuracy, and marked up. Once the documentation is
written, it is translated, converted to other formats, and published.
