Gunnar,
Here is the top downloads.  Some are themes.  Let me know what pages  
you want created and I'll create them for you.  Just file the html  
formatted administration help as a documentation issue we will  
populate that page.
Here are examples: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules
Here is the format for creating administration help pages: http:// 
drupal.org/node/24268

You don't have to be an expert at using Drupal.  More often than not  
just getting a start will bring people to help and improve your  
documentation.

Cheers,
Kieran
