Maik Roeder is also helping I believe and has many ideas
how to move forward with documentation.  What we really
need is someone who just plows head first into it and
everyone can follow.  I believe at the moment AndyM is
very busy with client work.  This is the downside with
opensource.  We need others to take his place.  ;-)

We have someone who is maintaining the FAQ.  He is doing
quite a good job.  I just added some more information
to Chapter 9 today.  I would say Plone 1.0 is stable.
There may be small fixes that warrant a 1.0.2 but none
that are majorly pressing.

What parts can you work on?  We have many different approaches.

but they are aiming towards their users.  This I believe
when its finished will be rolled into Plone but they must
develop at their own speed.  I think we are more intereted
in dealing with admins/developers at the moment.  I find
it very hard to conviece of PLone beign a end user system.
