The documentation is not good. We need to work on that for next release.
One of the issues we are facing is the format we should use. Right now,
every thing is a mixed of PHP and HTML, which is great for translation,
but bad if we want to find writers that aren't coders too.

But before that, updating some screenshots would be a pretty good idea.
Everyone is welcomed to contribute this way.

Could be done, yeah. If you think it's much better for the user, that's
something quite easy and quick to do.
