Hahahaha - I see its reputation precedes it. :-)

Jim, at the moment my immediate interest lies in the Gnome 2 -> 3
migration pathway: helping users to quickly come up to speed on Gnome 3.

I'll take a closer look at the existing docs and see how my Fedora
content spec relates to those.

Once I've done that I'll see what else I might be able to do to help out.
