I have always been interested in computers, and would find myself hanging out with the Computer Science students instead of the Aviation Management or Business Management students I was a part of. At home and at work I have been largely self-teaching myself using computers starting with Excel and Access with VBA through ASP and SQL at work. Thankfully my current employer values education, and so I have been taking classes and not only learning the technology, but un-learning what I have been doing wrong over the years. At home, though, I have been teaching myself Linux, system administration, networking and the overall method of migrating our system from Windows to Linux. I am involved in the Danbury Area Computer Society (DACS.org) I have the opportunity to take what I've learned the hard way and hopefully help others.. I have been enjoying Open Source for a while now, and I am hoping to get a better understanding of the entire model and application.

Great article (or is it documentation on improving documentation?)!
I love the idea of templates for documentation to help people know what to write and how to write it. It is a good starting point for reference and I wonder if Red Hat could compile a collection with their professional writers.
Google does and doesn't make it easy for people to write documentation. It makes it easy to research and find out what procedures, features or sticking issues are out there (by them asking in different locations for answers, and even what the answer is) but it also makes it difficult for people to accept or think to look at the documentation.
Sometimes it is easier to just Google it than to read through the documentation.
I think it would be great to foster respect and appreciation for document writers.
Found the answer in the official rules that only 1 entry per participant.
