By all means, feel free to work on it.

btw, the web docs are now stored in git rather than svn. For
read-write access, you need to clone the repository with e.g:

git clone git+ssh://dbruce-guest@git.debian.org/git/tux4kids/tux4kids-web.git

(substituting your own Alioth login for "dbruce-guest").

When you get done editing the pages, you commit them to the cloned
repository on your own machine with:

git commit -a

After you commit the changes locally, you send them back to the
central repository with:

git push


There's a lot more to git than that - a good general reference is the
"Git Book":

http://book.git-scm.com/

Hope that helps,

David Bruce
