Hi,
please bear with me as I explaing how this is just the kind of work I'd like to get into, and will put in a good effort, for free initially, just for the chance to participate.
I'm an experienced technologiest and technical writer; mostly MSc-level computer science, but I have a strong interest in the bio-sciences.
If you'd be willing to give me a shot at this, it'll cost you nothing and any work I am able to achieve, is yours.
All I ask at the end of the first project is your honest feedback on my abilities and shortcomings.
What do you have to loose?
