I can offer my help with 2 and 3. I am by no means an expert, though.

Would you like me to proof before it is published?
Proof read is not needed yet.
Need people that know (or not afraid of ) following keywords.
1. LaTeX/latex2pdf and basic svn skill.
2. Use dia do draw some xymon architecture diagrams.
3. Knowledge of Xymon client and server.
4. technical writing on Xymon subjects.
5. GNU Make.
6. Have Fedora 1X OS at home, or willing to login into my home
Fedora 13 machine for the above work.
What I have so far,
1. Xymon RTFM, the latex version of Henrik's doc work.
1.1 Need many updates since Hobbit has Has been reamed to Xymon.
1.2 Need much labor work to index keywords to generate correct index.
A very good example to use divide and conquer method with the help
of a few people.
Following is vaporware.
2. Turn/enhance Xymon Wiki book into LaTeX format.
Reuse Xymon RTFM book making framework to generate
2.1 Developer Guide.
2.2 User Guide.
2.3 Administrator Guide.
2.4 Overview slide.
I will try to upload(not publish!!) the Xymon RTFM during this July 4th
weekend.

According to R1, we now have 7 volunteers interested in Xymon
documentation area.
I am interested to find out who are willing to work on Item 2 of R2.
I started a few years back and never got to finish it.
Henrik gave me S.F. commit privilege for this purpose. so I still own
him the set of docs.
I worked on this and later found I am really bad at English Writing.
So I try to convert the troff files
into latex file and have the book center around existing set of troff
files.
I got a RTFM xymon book for my me and my colleague to study Xymon with.
New I have a two data sources issue, latex and troff files. So every
time troff files changed
latex file need to be changed as well. This is quite labor intensive.
I looked around and found there is latex2troff file converter, the
make process can generate troff file.
If we can have all team members use latex then we can generate all
Xymon doc into different formats use latex.
For now I like to invite people interested about this xymon-latex
project to join me.
I will clean up and upload my existing work to S.F.
sandbox/tjyang/docs directory.
Lots of work here to generate Xymon docs set(using latex)
Please help.
