Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I have a couple of responses / sub-questions below:

I would actually really like to help with documentation, as I find this pretty lacking in many of even the very best Free projects (not slamming anyone, I obviously think that working Free software is better than no software or no choice, and i understand the volunteer thing, etc., yadda yadda). I think my level of experience with coding versus documentation would make me a much better contributor as a documenter than coder -- especially in light of the fact that the things I could code best would be (coincidentally) the things I am probably the least "clean room" on, since those are things I've re-implemented before (though i guess not in a clean room -- you should see my apartment these days). I think I write pretty well (sound of my arm breaking as it reaches around to give me a pat on the back). What would you like help with or what do you feel is lacking? Is it end-user doc, dev-doc, or what exactly? Please, if I'm asking too many questions and this is already answered, I can read some stuff if you forward me a pointer / link...don't want to be a brain-drainer. I have been reading some of the Classpath and GCJ stuff, and am slowly getting a little more comfortable, although it's still quite new to me. I will continue to study up and read the links you already sent, and I will send a new message to the list when I get "ready" -- just wanted to respond right now so you knew your comments did not fall into a void. Thanks again for the reply. phillip _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
