Hi Lana

Pleased to meet you too. My random times will definitely coincide on a semi-regular basis :-) I spend a reasonable amount of time talking to Australia as I have friends in Wollongong and Melbourne so I am quite familiar with your timezone ;) Excellent! Well, now you know someone in Brisbane, too, so you can cover three states now ;)

My first plan is to work out docbook I think, unless you would recommend looking at github first. I have a block of 4 days off from tonight so I shall see were I get to and then I may well be taking you up on your kind offer for pointers.

Probably start with github, because without it it's hard to experiment with the docbook. Are you familiar with HTML markup? If so, you will notice some similarities between it and docbook. Lana

Cheers

Robin

Hi Robin,

Lovely to meet you! I'm Lana, I work on the SUSE Manager documentation team, and I've been trying for a little while to get a community group together to work on openSUSE documentation. Great to have you here! I'm based in Australia, so your random times will hopefully sometimes meet up with my random times ;)

Let me know if I can give you any pointers at any time.

Lana

Hi everyone Just a wish intro. I am looking at helping with documentation for the project if I can. I have been using Linux since the late 90's and used many different flavours for various purposes over the years. I haven't had much chance to contribute during that time but due to my work commitments I shall have more time to do so. I will just be a lurker for a little while as I will need to familiarise myself with docbook and github but hope to be able to help contributing soon. As this is my first venture in a project like this any pointers would be very gratefully received although I am happy to figure stuff out by myself where I can. Oh and if it makes any difference to anyone, I live in the south or the UK and work 4 on 4 off nightshifts so will be around at all sorts of random times Cheers Robin Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. --
