Welcome to the list. Adding manpower to the maintenance of the
FlightGear documentation is definitely a good idea.
The opportunities to improve the manuals are twofold. On the one hand
there are the README's that focus on a certain topic and you need
noting but your favourite text editor to get happy.
On the other hand we have 'The Manual', the so called "Getting Started
Manual". If you know at least a bit of LaTeX then you are invited to
have a look at the source code of that document.
You'll get the most current version of the 'getstart' source via CVS
from cvs.flightgear.org:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9

Simply post a notification/explanation on this list that you have an
update for some document or file. Usually someone will respond and ask
you to send the diff to him for check and/or inclusion. If it's just a
small one-liner I'd simply post the diff to this list.
Cheers,
Martin.
