No need to bother with either. :)
The current Potlatch 2 codebase (not deployed yet) can pull vectors
directly out of VectorMap District shapefiles. Just load the shapefile
in the background, alt-click, and the road comes through.
If you wanted to do something helpful towards this, a mirror of the
unzipped shapefiles, perhaps with a nice index, would be really useful.
Regarding documentation, my contribution is to put a lot of effort
into the wiki to improve some of the tag pages in particular to
marine/harbours and electricity supply. Hopefully someone will do work
on the Potlatch documentation.
It's not "Potlatch documentation" we're lacking, it's OSM documentation
for the new user who doesn't even know what Potlatch is. Playing with
marine/harbour tag pages, or indeed anything on the wiki, is a bit
deckchairs-on-the-Titanic to be honest.
cheers
