I have been reviewing the LfL project over the last few days. It seems the project is in its infancy but shows promise. How has the process of editing been handled?
At the moment there is no editing or proofing at all. The idea was to collect the topics first, to get suggestions, request for enhancements etc. After the text is stable enough we can proofread it -- whowever does this important task.
I have noticed a considerable amount of broken English --- as is commonly the case when an individual writes in a secondary language.
Yes, very true.
[...] How would I be able to extend to the community my hand as an editor? I feel very comfortable wearing both the author and editorial hats; but definitely would like to refrain from "stepping on any toes" so to speak.
You can, as a suggestion, announce what you are proofing (or going to proof). So your corrections don't collide with others. :) Does this sound reasonable?
Also, there are a few topics that I began to write for fedora that I would like to go ahead and present to the opensuse community as well:
Securing Filesystems Host Integrity Monitoring Installation of OVAL Installation of XSDL OVAL Administration Digitally signed and encrypted firewall rulesets
I feel more comfortable in XML, XSLT, ... or the like than your topics, so I am afraid I can't help you here. There should be others on this list who can give you a helping hand. You can ask on opensuse as well. Where are all the experts? :) Come on!
