[I'm working on a Documentation Project home page, in the
meantime, here is a canned response...]

Great!  Do you have any self-proclaimed areas of expertise?

Particular areas of the handbook that need work are basic
networking topics, PPP, NIS/yellow pages.  I would also like to
see some new sections on setting up various internet services
such as anonymous FTP, WWW, gopher, news, mailing lists and the
like. 

Then there are the somewhat less glamorous tasks of compiling
information to fill out the hardware compatibility catalog (just
recently moved into the Appendices section) and glossary.

Thanks for your interest!
