When a new writer/editor joins the Documentation Project, we ask that he/she introduces themselves on the Fedora Docs mailing list. To sign up for the list, visit the docs list signup page . The primary purpose of this is to begin the process of building trust by learning about the writer/editor, and downloading their GPG key.
