There are a few things going on at the moment:

* Wiki maintainence
   updating links, deleting, translations, etc

* Community Updates
   provided every week by Brenda Wang

* FreeRunner Manual on FLOSS Manuals
   maintained by Brenda Wang and myself

docs. is more for testing and bug reporting.  Don't know why we still 
use the name BTW.. Definitely confusing.

Since is looks like you are a native speaker, would you be interested in 
looking through FLOSS manuals for grammar and efficient writing?  Here's 
what we have so far:

http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/NeoFreeRunner

and here's an introduction on FLOSS manuals:

http://en.flossmanuals.net/FLOSSManuals/Introduction

It's mostly content migrated from the wiki, but we would like to tone 
down the amount of text and eventually add sections for developers in 
the future.
