Now is a good enought time as any.  The next rev will be 1.1.5 (as voted
by all active developers).  Right now there are only about 5 outstanding
issues.  These shouldn't break any installation instructions.  I would
say go for it.  I am +1 on someone besides myself doing them.  I have
proven that I am terrible at writing docs and am also especially blind
to obvious FAQ style issues :(
 
Just make sure to do them in stylebook format.  See ./docs/xdocs for
*pleny* of examples.
