Do I hear a volunteer? <grin>
Go for it - and then post help-requests on difficult areas. SOMEONE
should be able to reply with something helpful, yes?
The biggest prob with documentation is "Where to start"????
This would be very helpful service IMHO.
Perhaps come up with a to-do list of areas that should be documented.
The kernel docs are FAR clearer then they were in 0.99 though :)
[and the 1.1 series were impossible...]
Wind to your wings!
