--------------------------------------

Hello,
I am new to Hadoop Common and this JIRA. While attending the Hadoop Summit in San Jose last month, I spoke with Bobby Evans & Larry McCay about contributing to the Hadoop community. I have limited coding skills but I do have a stronger background in technical writing so Bobby suggested I work with the folks associated with this JIRA to update of the Hadoop Tutorial associated with this page to Hadoop 2.x. I'll undoubtably need the input and assistance of the community to succeed in that undertaking, however, it's possible the additional energy and focus I bring will help move the project forward. 

I have some ideas on how I might update the introductory first module so with your permission, I'll wade in with some edits, post them and see what people think. The highest compliment you can pay me is to actually read what I post and provide feedback. I think people will find I am very open to ideas and respond well to criticism. I am also happy to work with the Google doc cited below 

In the meantime, Bobby provided me with instructions on how to build a web-site out of the embedded documentation in the 2.x Hadoop build using the mvn site command. That command is resulting in persistent BUILD FAILUREs. I doubt this is the right place to post a request for help with those issues, but I was hoping someone could point me to the proper venue in which I can seek assistance. 

By way of introduction, I live in the foothills above Boulder, CO with my wife of 27 years, our 17 year old granddaughter (she let's us live with her ;-), and Kassidy our not so dainty 90 lb chocolate lab. I've worked for EMC as a Sales Engineer for about 10 years and currently have an Alliances role supporting Accenture North America. We used to live in the Bay Area and in my SE role I've worked with Cisco, Yahoo, Google and Facebook in the past.

I'm looking forward to working with you all. Thanks!

> I was able to get the Yahoo! Hadoop tutorial released under an Apache 2.0 license.  This allows us to make it a official part of the Hadoop Project.  This ticket is to pull the tutorial and update it as needed.
