Hi Matthew,

Welcome and thanks for getting involved.

A couple of links which you may have already seen:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_content_tasks_for_new_contributors
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wiki_gardening_tasks

Are some of the easier

Welcome. I am glad to see another South Carolinian get involved.
