Yep :-)
Because the documentation is almost totally in text files of some sort, you can
submit patches to the docs the same way as you would for code patches -- by
including them (in the format defined on the Guidelines pages) in a mail message
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] One of the existing committers can then
evaluate the suggestion and incorporate it as appropriate.
I wouldn't get too nervous about it -- we all started our involvement somewhere!
