I'm a long time user of PCB also, and I'd be happy to help out with any tutorials etc (as time allows).

I've got a lot out of Pcb and would like to put something back in.

My skillset for docs is LaTeX mainly.

I've got a tutorial page re making pcbs (Pcb abd Gschem) with laser artwork and lightbox etc at :
