The Fedora Documentation team is actively soliciting for people to
write these kinds of "beats," which are single-subject pages for our
release notes and other use.  Leslie, if you're interested you could
join the fedora-docs-list and introduce yourself.  Work on these beats
is starting to resume for the next release, Fedora 11 (Leonidas), and
I'm sure everyone would be thrilled to meet you and help you learn how
to contribute there.
