Hi, 

I'd like to help with the Emacs LISP manual.
I have some Emacs LISP experience, though no other LISP experience.
As an example, I just finished implementing a floating point package
for Emacs LISP, which uses cons-ed pairs for (mantissa, exponent),
and implements the usual arithmetic operations plus conversion between
ints, strings, and floats.  Then I wrote a "calculator mode" on top of
it which has a structure that looks like dc(1).
I consider myself competent, but not a dyed-in-the-wool hacker
at Emacs LISP.  However, I am very good at things like editing
and proofreading.  

I have already contributed some minor software to rms (mostly 
to get GNU Emacs to run on a Vax running AT&T System V).  Please let
me know how I can help.
