Would you mind sharing with us a blog post that you've written  -- on any
topic related to Open Source and Free Software would be fine.  That will
help us get a sense of your writing.

This is very interesting to us.  If you could show us your skills with a
some patches that make the website look better, that would be great.  I know
it's not terribly trivial right now to test the website, but if you are
familiar with Javascript web publishing frameworks, you should be able to
figure out from what gets build in the public_html directory how to make
that look good locally and submit a patch.

That's a great start!  We'd love to see any patch you want to share, either
on the textual side to do some language/wording cleanup somewhere in the
Guide, or if you'd like to make the web publishing version look prettier (as
above).

As mentioned in the posting, feel free to submit the pull request via Github
if you like if that's easier.  We know Kallithea is a bit weird for people
so that's ok if you'd rather use Github.
