Is there any plan for official software documentation? I have been a Senior Tech Writer for the last 10 years and would be delighted to work on it (particularly if someone like Red Hat would support me to do it 60 hours a week *<{%-{]}}} <--Goggle-eyed geek in clown hat, moustache, and full beard). Actually, I have been writing about XO software off and on ever since the Dynabook days, when Xerox licensed Smalltalk to Apple, HP, and others in 1981, during my market research period.
For example, I wrote in a study of so-called educational software back then that the overpriced drill-and-practice programs of the time weren't real educational software, and that what children need is sharp tools to do stuff with. Commercial educational software is still a vast wasteland, with a few honorable exceptions. Then I did a study on Personal Instruments (data acquisition and analysis on PCs), and some other reports that touched on education. Besides starting and managing a software project for math for schools. And a few other things. I have a button that says, "Stop me before I volunteer again," but it doesn't help.
