You could practise on the gNewSense wiki while you're going through that 
guide, and append our own guidelines [1] with what you experience to be

You could join in on the alpha testing (see my earlier mail on this 
list). I haven't had much feedback yet, so either it works amazingly 
well, or nobody's interested. :)

Reported as a bug [2]. I'll get on it.
