Then it goes right back to what someone else eluded to... If you don't
like what you see in the documentation, contribute. Send in diffs, or
even new items. If you don't know what's needed go to the DOCS list and
ask. Getting people to help with documentation for ANY project is like
pulling teeth. Finding people to criticize existing documentation is
quite easy.
