[edit] Why join documentation projects?

1. Open source documentation could use more writers and editors
2. Share your knowledge as a nice document that benefits many other community members
3. Participate with your favorite project and the involved team
4. Have a say with the implementation of your project
5. Be an ambassador for your country of origin
6. Translate documentation

Even the little edits such as checking:

- conformance to style guidelines
- spelling
- verifying drafts
- verifying technical procedures

can help most documentation projects in a huge manner and help FOSS spread!
