IRC is really important to contributing.
It's as simple as the following:
su -c 'yum install BitchX'
BitchX yournick
/join #fedora-join
Thanks,
Dan

Hi can I contribute if I do not use IRC (Freenode).
I find that my time is limited. I can read an email, so I do not have to
be online to watch the chats.
I prefer to have some documents, code, executable, script thrown my way,
and I can install and test same, or update /write good concise accurate
documentation
I used to prgram in assembler, for speed and size, but currently do most
of my coding in C or C++.
I do substantial writng on technical stuff, and when I reread it a few
days later, I am impressed with how good it is. (Self praise is no glory,
but good lucid explanations in grammatical sentence construction helps)
Some feedback please. Please mention Fedora-Join in the subject line.
