Any help with the documentation is always wanted ofcourse :)

It is rewritten from scratch. It has nothing to do with what is
currently on our webpages.

More likely all your work done on the current manual will have to be
deleted when the new one is done.

I think the best course of action would be to fill in the gaps in the
new English documentation, and then translate it on the fly to German as
well.

I have no clue about the current state of the new documentation, but
Alexander van Loon <svloon@xs4all.nl> does. He started the new
documentation. I've CC-ed him.
