Hi,
my name is Nils. I would like to contribute to the fedora project by writing documentation. In the past I have already contributed to several open source projects like fedora, ubuntu and GNOME as a german translator. You can find a little more information about me in the fedora wiki: http://bit.ly/1VXBklY http://bit.ly/1VXBklY
I would be grateful for a hint about what to do next. I will try to take part in the next doc irc meeting.
Regards, Nils

I'm no expert, but this page has a few links to various documentation you could dive into improving: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_contributor_expectations
Also, to other people on this list: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Docs_Project funnels people here, where they see messages like the one I'm replying to with no reply. I think that discourages new contributors, and it's certainly not encouraging the person who posted it to the list. Does fedora want docs contributors? Either reply to new contributors or don't send them here.

Fedora Docs is a group of all volunteer writers, we all have jobs, and families and many other responsibilities. Of course we want new writers, but we don't always get back to introduction emails quickly, and yes we do miss some of them.
Also, please feel free to reply to the introduction emails and welcome others yourself. It is not a task that a specific person is responsible for.
Welcome :)
New contributors are encouraged to hang out in IRC where we coordinate activity and hold meetings about various parts of Fedora.
Some good channels to join on Freenode for onboarding generally include:
#fedora-join #fedora-commops
For writing and documentation, you should also join:
#fedora-docs #fedora-mktg
Tonight at 5pm ET there will be an editorial meeting for Fedora Magazine, which I know is always looking for authors and contributing writers. For details on that meeting and any others, you can check our various team calendars on Fedocal: http://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar
If you have questions, my nick is decause (though I'm travelling today and may not be able to respond immediately.)
Looking Forward, --RemyD. On Oct 29, 2015 8:27 AM, "Zach Oglesby" zach@oglesby.co wrote:
