There are lots of places that need work, so if there's an app that you use a 
lot, or are particularly familiar with, tell us, and we can put you in touch 
with anyone who's already working on it, or find out what needs to be done.

If inspiration fails, two tasks that should be quite nice to get started with, 
from our bugs database, are:
* http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110252 : Writing a "Multimedia" section 
in the KDE userguide. This would be a general overview of the multimedia 
capabilities in KDE, rather than detailed instructions for one app.

* http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96468 : Writing KMahJongg docs. This 
would be an introduction, plus more detailed description of the app. Games 
are a nice way to get into docs, since the apps are quite small and you get 
to play them while you're writing :-)

If any of those options interest you, tell me and I can give you details about 
where to send updates and other bureaucracy :-). If not, there's plenty of 
other stuff to work on - drop me a line and we'll find something else.

You can also find us in #kde-docs on irc.freenode.net, if you're an IRCer.

Regards,
Philip
