Welcome!
There is plenty of work to do, always. No surprise there. :-)
You have several choices. There are unmaintained HOWTOs, there are
subjects we don't have covered, or don't have covered very well. There
are documents that need to be converted to docbook SGML or XML, and
there are administrative tasks.
I will take this opportunity to plug my pet project, which is
reviewing the documentation and identifying problems that need to be
corrected. If you want to do this, let me know and I'll send more
information. That goes for the whole list, btw.
We have posted some resources for volunteers on the website, so look
for those links on the left side of the home page. Read the LDP Author
Guide if you're going to work on any documents. You're on the list, so
you will see other projects going on and can volunteer for any of
them.
Tell us how you feel about these options and we'll help you get
started.
