That seems to be a _lot_ of technical writing experience! Could you
give some pointers? You see, As a Debianite, I'm not always familiar
with Fedora or other "outside" projects ;)

Sure, all forms of contribution are appreciated. Take your time ;)

The book you talked about above seems to be pretty in depth for Rust.
That's obviously good, especially since the DRT kinda lacks in FFI

Thanks again, and looking forward to working with you ;)
