All of this legal crap is too too much for me. I know it is
necessary but it appears I decided to join the group at the single worst
time. I expect the changes in the Documentation is so in progress it is
why the things I am trying to do don't work.
To my understanding right now no-one is writing a thing. I tried to
join to write and feel good about improving things so you stop hearing
how poor the Fedora Help is.
So I will just wait until it is possible to sign up in an hour.
Until then there will be few new writers.
