Hello, everyone. My name is Stephen Hyland, and I've been a long-time user of Open Source software, a software engineer, a technical writer (various tools but primarily FrameMaker), and am an attorney. I probably won't be of much use, initially, because of my father's death on Saturday (not unexpected) and because I will be somewhat distracted by the funeral arrangements and estate matters. So, if no one minds, I'll be lurking but not adding much to the discussions or the effort at the moment.
I had several questions regarding the documentation project, however. First, is there a project lead? If I have missed that information, could someone point me to it? Second, what is being used for document control? Third, is there a style guide? I'm sure I'll think of other things as we proceed.
