Re: Getting involved with documentation efforts: how and where?

Hi all,

I'm new here, and I'm a developer new to Drupal as well. I've just
recently begun working with Drupal full time in a professional
context, and in the process have found the existing Drupal docs to be
of invaluable importance in my learning. Naturally, I found some areas
where they could be better, more clear, or are simply lacking. I
thought I'd raise my hand to volunteer to help out whatever
documentation efforts the Drupal community has and, especially as a
new Drupal user and developer, try to flesh out whatever I can so its
more accessible to people without prior Drupal experience or knowledge.

I've already added a few a page of my own to the documentation, not
very Drupal-specific but helpful (I think), which you can see at http://drupal.org/user/265715/track

A while ago I also put in this documentation issue: http://drupal.org/node/238799

I let it sit for a while since I hadn't had the time to get back to it—
it's always a challenge to balance "getting work done" and "giving
back to the community" as I'm sure you al know. In any event, I'd love
to start getting more involved, but don't know precisely how to go
about doing that. I figured what better place to ask than here, on the
doc list?

Who do I poke about that documentation issue? Where can I go to see
other issues that I can help out with (if not the documentation
issues, which apparently I need special privileges that I lack to
affect). So basically…yeah, where might I be needed, or helpful?

By way of delayed introduction, I'm a technical author and a web
developer/sysadmin by trade. I'm specifically a front-end specialist,
with a focus on semantic web technologies, and if that's not enough,
I'm dating a writer. :)
