I join Larry in that interest.  I've been running Debian software since 
last fall and GNU/Linux distros since 1995, and UNIX systems since 1982. 
I do a lot of technical writing and documentation, and I'd be delighted 
to help out in this effort, proof reading, contributing, or whatever 
else may be needed.  But I could use some suggestions on where to look 
and what to do to get started.  In terms of the project itself, I am a 
newbie.  I did, however, attend this summer's Debconf2 in Toronto, so I 
have a few ideas... even so, I could use some help and guidance on how I 
can dig in and how I can best be of help in this kind of endeavor.
