Hi Laura!

Welcome to the team.  Probably the best thing for you to do is to  
take a look at our main work product the drupal documentation  
handbook.  http://drupal.org/handbook The team is in general  
agreement that it needs an overhaul and there are various efforts  
currently to do that.  I tend to believe that when recruiting people,  
you should recruit them to do something they are self motivated to  
do, or to beg them for a unique and desperately needed skill they have.

Let me lay out a few ongoing efforts.
1) About handbook-Bryan is working on the about section of the  
handbook, he could do with some help.
2) Admin help and module handbook pages is an effort that I am  
driving.  That translating code into english and translating  
programmer documentation into executive summaries for users.
3) Anisa and Charlie are looking at over all guidelines for the  
handbooks.
4) The marketing team has immediate needs to help address two  
pressing problems.  First, there are a number of ongoing CMS  
evaluations that are occurring that are frequently factually  
incorrect.   It would be great if there was a get the facts brochure  
so that analysts knew the truth.  The second problem is that there  
are many different industry segments that need to explain the  
benefits of Drupal to their communities.  Politics, non-profits,  
government, enterprise, artists all need documents they can understand.

I am sure there are several other efforts, that Charlie can  
coordinate you into.

As for snarkyness, you are not alone.  Just use funny symbols so we  
understand  your personality type and don't flag you for our junk  
mail filter.

Cheers,
Kieran
