Anyone can edit it, it lives in the org.openembedded.documentation[1] branch in monotone,
the website is auto-generated from that every 30 minutes. Edit the docbook file[3] and
attach the output of 'mtn diff' to the OE bugtracker. Extending the usermanual (which
already has section on how to write recipes from scratch) is the best way to go.
