Volunteers need both time and continued enthusiasm - I have little time, and my own personal enthusiasm for writing/translating documentation has waned as I have seen that it is impossible to keep up with the pace of development and/or the new bugs that are introduced as a result of that development. Ultimately, how one feels about the quality of a product affects one's enthusiasm to write stuff about it. This has caused me to focus on working on QA, rather than documentation - after all, if the product doesn't work as intended, why not try and get it fixed (sometimes a vain hope) rather than attempt to write documentation which, when released, will essentially/probably be out of date and/or inaccurate ? By the way, this is not a plug to draw people from the doc project to QA, just my personal experience ! Documentation needs a solid base from which to work - IMO, this means that the software shouldn't be changing its product characteristics and features every 6 months (or less) - if you don't have that, the efforts that go into creating and maintaining documentation for the product imply relying on a massive documenter group to keep up and currently, the LO documentation project doesn't have that critical mass.
