I have tried DamnSmall Linux and I am interested in contributing to the project.I can help writing documentation for DamnSmall Linux, but I need some more details about what exactly do I have to do...

Brilliant, I hope john takes you up on this. He did make a request about it a while ago ...< http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....=4;t=12 >
I only wish I had the time and the skill to do likewise, but as you see from my sobrique I'm not a good choice
At the risk of repeating a post I made elsewhere, DSL needs a basic document covering the apps that are included in the distro.
Effectivly a brief outline followed by the major actions/controls. Sort of basic manual page.
(Anything I didn't recognise I just googled and read the pages, but not everyone has a fast connection )
John may suggest something entirely different though ...............

I kinda got the ball rolling when I wrote the "Getting Started". So if you all could possible write towards that end. I mean HTML formated and looks good with Dillo. Some of the things I put into Getting Started were questions that I saw being asked on the boards. Most recently, John, added the cut-n-paste. More things that would help the new user to Linux/DSL. Also each application could use a section in a similar manner. But please keep it short and simple for a quick display and a quick read.

Don't forget if you know nothing about linux, you can also contribute $ through PayPal. Helps to defray costs of computers, servers, etc.

LinuxSeeker, basically it is completely open. So, what ever you want to write about is fair game. What is most needed though is the basics, anything from how to set up a static IP, to how to use Sylpheed. Thanks.
