Interested.

I'm surprised by all the discouraging comments. If what you end up writing isn't good enough, chances are that the highest-voted comment will say so (and why). So I support the suggestion that you write a post and consider the reception.

That said, I can't help but notice that you've so far ignored the questions about why you consider yourself qualified.

I'm surprised by all the discouraging comments.

Really? Ah, you're new around here. This is fairly common.

Criticism of posted work is common, but I don't have the impression that discouraging people from doing and posting the work is particularly common.

My observations suggest that criticism in general is common.
