Although my opinion is rather skewed, I tend to agree with this. If
I can devot some more time to the completion of the oop5 docs,
would that be more of a contribution than 100 typo fixes?

Perhaps a move to more of a author per section? The only reason
being is that If I take any credit, it shouldn't be for the whole
documentation, since I've only contributed mostly to the oop5
docs, which is only a small portion of the whole documentation.
