Greetings from the LinuxBIOS symposium in Hamburg!

Now; this morning we had a discussion about the creation of a Programmer's manual. The idea is to create much more documentation for people who want to start hacking on LinuxBIOS. People who contribute code would ideally also write documentation about that code - but there might be other contributors too, of course.
The consensus of the discussion was that we need a coordinator for the Programmer's manual. Ideally someone who is *not* yet very familiar with the codebase, or even with low-level programming. Such a person would basically oversee the creation of the manual, encouraging (pestering?) coders to also contribute documentation, etc. It would be a great way to dive into LinuxBIOS programming - the coordinator is pretty much guaranteed to learn a lot as this manual takes shape.
The question is - anyone here who would be interested in taking on this role?
I have been hanging out on the list for quite sometime now. Wrote documentation for various hardware and software projects in the distant past. I live in Mumbai India (if that's of interest). I can take this up or assist whoever is assigned the task.
