Uh, sure! Read the current docs to see the plea for more contributions
to docs ;)

Anyway, there are several kinds of docs available, but the primary
formatted docs are posted on the web and ftp sites and are available
in the tarball distribution. All areas could use more info or
rewriting, and as you've noticed some areas are waiting for someone to
take the initiative and just do 'em. The sources are in DocBook SGML,
and they are typically formatted to HTML and Postscript.

Feel free to suggest additions or changes, or to take on a larger
project. If you are going to write or rewrite a whole section or
topic, it is probably a good thing to announce something on the
hackers or docs mailing list so folks know that some work is coming
up. Also, if you have any questions or need help formatting the docs,
feel free to ask. I'd much rather answer questions than write them
from scratch...
