I completely agree with the comment about the API. I realize it is a very technical document with a specific purpose, but a few lines of example code here and there would broaden its reach to many more users. I also agree with the sentiment about wanting to contribute but being unsure of one's qualification to do so. I'd like to add things, or sometimes just expand and append parts of the manual, but the only way to do it easily is through your own blog. -Andrew
