What a horrible chicken and egg scenario... you can't help with providing
documentation until you have some deal of experience with something, but if
you ask for better documentation to get that experience, you are told to
write some. I understand the frustration, but at the same time, please
understand the frustration of those trying to learn. Personally I find the
documentation is more than adequate, but could always be improved. Hopefully
I will learn enough at some point to be able to say that I'm ready to
contribute... until then I'll be here feeding off the scraps of knowledge
that are dribbled here and there...
