You have stumbled into a good place to get involved. The fact is, the
biggest growth in FLOSS projects *has* to start coming from non-coders.
In short, we have too many coders working on too many apps that will
never make sense or be used because the UI sucks, there is no good
documentation, it is untranslated, etc.
Oooo, Karsten comes out swinging! Yeah baby, +1! "Don't get mad, get
involved," is the message.
One thing I am very proud about in this project is the way we have
been
both a gateway for people to get involved in more than just
documentation, but have also kept those people active in the project.

/me stops injecting unwanted quips into otherwise serious conversation
