Writing documentation for libraries is one way in which ordinary

hard to do (grab the Darcs repo, type away), and it’s widely appreciated.
People often don’t feel “qualified” do to this, but documentation
written by an intelligent but “unqualified” person (perhaps including
“not sure what happens here”) is a lot more useful than no
documentation at all. Yes I know that misleading documentation can be
a Bad Thing but I think lack of documentation is a much bigger problem
than misleading documentation, as of today.

How exactly do I get started?
(Obviously I can't write the documentation for the monad transformers -
I don't know how they work yet! But I could have a go at splicing all
the Parsec goodness into the Haddoc pages...)
