Story

I've lurked for years at slashdot but I really like it here and would like to help out. However, I'm reluctant to submit new stories as I don't know the correct format or what's acceptable. I also don't really know how modding and stuff works (I never bothered to get a slashdot account). There must be others like me, so I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile creating a brief intro document on how the main points of the site work so that new users like me can help build up the momentum?

Thanks
