notes from the mousepad

Even though my schedule has been pretty hectic lately, I’ve decided that I’m going to try and contribute to the Xubuntu documentation project. Why Xubuntu? Well, for one, I use it. Xubuntu Edgy is presently on my Thinkpad t22, and it’s worked great for me. Also, Xubuntu probably receives less contribution from the community than Ubuntu or Kubuntu. I don’t even think that Xubuntu had separate documentation for Xubuntu Edgy - when you first started FireFox in Xubuntu Edgy, it said, “Welcome to Xubuntu 6.06!” The project could use some help, I think.

I’ve hung out a bit on #ubuntu-doc, and am on the ubuntu-doc mailing list. I figure that I’m going to get a start by proofreading. Someone on #ubuntu-doc said that would be a great way to go, especially considering that I’m not a technical expert. I do have a decent way with words, though. Wicked grammar skiillz. So, look for some bug reports from j1mc on the Xubuntu-doc bug report page. I’ll be getting some up there soon.
