I'll repeat this as I'm also guilty of not reply-all'ing (reply-to
header anyone?)
It would be a huge help to have bugs labeled as easy and/or having a
mentor available. See Mozilla for an example:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Introduction
I looked at the issue tracker for something I could help with, but
there is just so much.
Maybe I'll start fixing this minor annoyance I found

This is a good point, and it is a universal challenge (in both open
source and proprietary projects). It needs effort.
But there must be correlation between successful projects and
well-documented ones: If actively try to lower the barrier one needs
to overcome to start working with elementary (both on the core
projects and at the application layer, but we are mostly talking about
the first) we will get more people contributing, and contributions of
better (or "aligned") quality.

The bigger problem than docs being boring is that the chance you're
a

teach is
extremely low.
The google doc we started that one time was a complete piece of
crap.
Technical writing isn't just boring, it's incredibly difficult to
do right

We're missing a ton of other docs in the website too, but you know
how it
goes - writing docs is boooooring and everybody has better things
to do.
