If all is well, this message should now be signed :). Sorry, I didn't 
look  (was too lazy to look? :D) at the Self Introduction wiki page 
before sending so I wasn't aware it was mandatory ;). Also, by looking 
at the page I noticed a few other things I should have probably filled 
in.

Heres what I aim to do as one of the documentation guys and gals:
1. First of all, docbookalize documents which haven't been already in 
order to get familiar with docbook itself.
2. Second of all, help out with editing - not full blown writing just 
yet - I think being an editor would help me see how things work before 
jumping right in, getting things wrong and annoying those 
sometimes-irritable ;) programmers :D.

Along the line of 'soft skills', I would say I have good people skills 
and a great deal of patience.

Also, some of you will know me already as I'm *trying*/*should be 
trying harder* to set up a HCL.

Good ol' Karsten has already pointed me in the direction of the 
documentation pages, but regarding bugzilla, cheers, I will do.
