Welcome to the project.

This describes what I would like to do with the Administration Guide -
provide a document that gives readers with some understanding of
computers the confidence to manage Linux systems, by clearly explaining
how the system works:

You may also be interested in the Getting Started Guide, which is a more
basic introduction for new users that Bob Jensen and Martin Brej are now
developing:

Although the project uses a number of different tools, none are complex
in themselves, so if you have a stronger interest in something we do not
currently cover, feel free to propose it. We can step you through the
document startup process fairly easily.
