I think I have joined this project by mistake. I have little experience 
with php, and zero experience programming with Drupal. Therefore 
anything written for the developers would be beyond my capabilities to 
help with. In my consulting & biz analyst career (and some lightweight 
4GL "programming") I have had plenty of opportunity to write help docs 
for end-users and in general have strong document-architecture and 
writing skills ....

 had mistaken this whole "Documentation" effort to mean improved docs 
for users. From the standpoint of a Drupal _user_, even one who is quite 
tech savvy, the docs need a lot of work and I was hoping to pitch in.

Is that part of this, or should I just politely go away? :-)
