it would've been great if you could join us. One of the points I had in my agenda is to suggest having the experienced people in the team volunteer for mentorship to anyone wanting it from the documentation team. This would help put structure and coordinate efforts in this big team of contributors.
So in reply to your thoughts above, yes I believe you and the other experienced developers would be instrumental in coordination and provision of structure for the rest of the team. My role would perhaps mostly be to update the documentation system code as per the evolving needs of the documentation team and to help with any technical / support issues.
