[documentation] Getting involved with documentation efforts: how and where?

[Nathaniel Catchpole]

Meitar,

You can edit that page directly if you're a member of the documentation
team. To do that, you just need to follow the process outlined here:
http://drupal.org/node/23367 - the short version is go to
http://drupal.org/project/issues/documentation/ and add a request.

You also seem to be our exact target for a proposed new block to make it
easier to find information about contributing to documentation - your input
would be very helpful on this issue: http://drupal.org/node/263767
