I mostly lurk in the Documentation Project, but I'm trying to make more contributions.  I am currently coordinating the [[User:bcotton/RPM_Guide_tasks|update of the RPM Guide]] and writing a chapter on printing for the [https://fedorahosted.org/userguide/ User Guide].  In the past, I've contributed to some wiki gardening and the [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Quick_Start_Guide/index.html|Installation Quick Start Guide].  
I was volunteered to be the Docs project leader in November 2011. Mostly my contributions involve administrivia, easy bug fixes, and occasional chapters about printing.
