Hi Sam, welcome to the team.
I've sponsored your membership in the 'docs' FAS group. Now you can
participate in elections, go vote for a release name!
The table Jérôme linked to has a column that will lead you to the git
repo for the Guides. I think you'll get the hang of docbook pretty
quickly, but the hardest part IMO is writing the content and I suggest
you dive into that first. We can help you with the markup as needed; I'm
happy to help where I can, and that's true of many people.
Many of us hang out in #fedora-docs and more watch the mailing list.
I'm looking forward to working with you here and there.
