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 ...

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.
