I am a newbie - how can I help out?

As a 'newbie' I think I offer a unique perspective on the usability and quality of the documentation and Plone itself. This information can be very valuable to the community. What is the best way for me to help?

The best thing is to look at plone.org/documentation and identify any "holes". You should probably start at http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/read-documentation. From there, keep a log of your explorations. When you hit a brick wall, go back a step and see if you've overlooked anything. If the documentation you require is not there or is too difficult to find, or if it's there but too difficult to understand, then post to the plone documentation mailing list (see plone.org/contact) with as much detail as you can with how you think the experience could be improved.

As you progress, you are welcome (and encouraged!) to write new tutorials, FAQs and how-tos in this documentation area (just join plone.org and log in). We will review these and publish as appropriate. Please do look at existing documentation before writing a new item, though, since we don't want duplication in our documentation.
