Please see http://pygame.org/wiki/Hacking It might be good to pick one module to start with(say color in src/color.doc), then once you're done send the patch to the list. Or I'm on irc sometimes (illume). We'll need to coordinate what we're doing, so once you're done post your changes to the list (separate thread for each file) and we'll review them - then commit them. @Lennard: when should we start editing the rst files instead of the .doc ones?
