I’ll be the first to admit that writing isn’t my strong point. It’s not that I can’t write well, it’s just that it takes me a really long time. If you are interested in giving me a hand with writing documentation for Radiant, let me know. You’ll get the following privileges: 1. Full access to the Radiant web site (admin system, trac, etc…) 2. Level One Platinum technical support 3. Bragging rights That’s right folks. If you sign on now I’ll give you full access to the Radiant Web site _and_ Level One Platinum technical support! (This basically means you can e-mail me anytime you want! OK, I know it’s not that great, but please folks, I need help! 🙂 So if you are interested, give me a holler. – John L. [http://wiseheartdesign.com](http://wiseheartdesign.com) ---

John, I’d love to lend a hand with this undertaking. I figure it’s the least I can do for you providing the world with such a nice framework. I’ve been looking for a way to contribute to the project, and I think that this might be it. Can you give me an idea of where you’d like to start with this project? My time may be a little tight for the next few weeks, but I think I can squeeze some of it in until my schedule frees up a bit. ---

Hi John, I have installed and played a little with Radiant, I just wish it was simpler to make a blog, I’ll help you with the docs and also can do the translations to spanish (my mother tongue). Good for the privilidges! but I’m just interested in studying and generating good support doc so it would be easier for newcomers to use the system, and eventually compete with others CMS and platforms. I don’t want to give you more work, but I’ll need you to tell me where to start. best, pablo. [www.menttes.com](http://www.menttes.com) ---
