What are you offering?

The Latex docs need updating and proofing.

Docbook format needs to be investigated but it looks like the vast array of
fonts used by IBM may be challenging.

Other.

I offered my services as an editor/scribe to this list a while back, but 
I need leadership and direction.  My systems have been built using the 
IBM/Transarc
docs, the html at openafs.org and numerous .edu sites.  All have been 
very helpful and the current docs took an AFS neophyte (me) to an 
intermediate level
AFS sysadmin.  So I guess I consider them quality literature.  How much 
spit and polish do you want?  Do we need more than latex, html, and pdf 
?  What
information is dynamic besides the CHANGELOGS?  If you are looking for a 
snappier web page, I'm sorry, my parents gave the artistic talent to my 
little
brother so my input might be a liablility.
