Thanks Andrea.
However, to be honest, I am not eager to contribute any patches (at least
not yet).

I believe that crowdsourcing docs does not work quite well (does not
produce good results).
Time after time you may need some help from an experienced technical
writer, to reorganize and restructure the docs.

Google Season of Docs might be an option to get help from such a writer:
 - https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs
It is similar to Google Summer of Code, but has some substantial
differences.
One of them is that it expects professional technical writers to do the job
(instead of students).
Another one is that, unfortunately, the budget of this program is still
very small, and last year for example, very few projects were accepted:
 - https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants

Best,
Dashamir
