Writing/Editing Documentation

A computer program is no good if no one knows how to use it. If you like to write or edit, we'd love to have help improving the documentation for Purple Pen. Drop us a line on the mailing list.

If web site design or writing is your bent, this web site could undoubtedly use improvement also.
