If you're looking for a little direction, my first instinct is to see if we have any sun or slackware specific pieces (in any doc) that you could take a look at updating, or if there are any pieces that need writing to deal with any special sun behaviour, file system layout, things like that. If you want to look at that, I can help you run down any such content. Otherwise, there's a pretty large list of things to do here: http://i18n.kde.org/doc/current.php As we discussed on IRC, we need to write in American English, but we can proofread for you (and running the spellchecker in US English catches most of it.) You don't need to learn the markup to start with (or ever, if you don't want.) Another possibility I feel bound to mention is to help out the proofreading team and the en_BR translation, although I also feel bound to mention we need more people writing content desparately. Whatever you choose to do, we're happy to have you, and welcome to the team!
