Hi Seref, you can make the life better of the other newcomers, if you have some time to help.
Please checkout our source code, and improve the documentation. Then if you can send a patch, one of our existing committers can review that and apply it. So that in the next release everyone will get better docs. This is a community effort and your contribution and feedback is greatly appreciated.
