Of course, we always welcome help! One reason for the 'stagnation' is
that we are (compared to other projects) not that many people, and we
basically like to write code more than documentation ¬.¬ ...

Well, to actually contribute something, there's a bit of stuff required:
- Web site editing (Main page/trac wiki): you need a website account.
Once you have it, you should be able to edit most pages (it's a wiki,
after all). Some pages are protected due their importance and/or
previous vandalism (eg the front page), you need some special
permissions to edit them: to get them, ask someone with Wiki admin
status (such as me, Jorrit, Mårten/thebolt, andres, Eric Sunshine).
- Manual/Code documentation: the sources for these are actually in the
source code repository (the manual is generated from texinfo sources,
the code documentation is generated from special comments in the headers
etc. themselves). To edit these, you need (a) an account on
SourceForge.net (b) write access to the source code repository, which
can be given by someone with SF project admin status (me, Jorrit,
Mårten/thebolt, Eric Sunshine) - we need your SF.net username for that tho.
