I would like to help out; but I DO need you to tell me exactly what you would
have me do.

I'm capable of the first two; I'm a linux user, so I don't know how helpful I
can be with the last one.

That's very nice to know! When can I start? :)

I've been waiting for you. :)

I can't find the above document online; what information provided by google
suggests that *you* offered to review it about a fortnight ago:

I'm willing to help out with reviewing the guide if you could send me a copy.

Sorry; I'd really like to help with this one, but I use gentoo. :)

This one sounds interesting, but what I found online suggests that only pilots
can contribute. Perhaps I misinterpreted the synopsis. If I can be of service,
please let me know.

I'm not really into games, but if there is anyway I could help with this guide,
please let me know. (FWIW, the only HOWTO I could find on the subject was
authored by Bob Zimbinski, and was obsolete.)

I tried adopting an unmaintained guide, but it is too much work for me (as a
newbie.) If anyone is familiar with what updates need to be made to the SCSI
HOWTO, please let me know.

Done.
Hope to hear from you soon.
