If you take a look at recent changes in our beginners' documentation:

git shortlog -n -s  --since "1 year ago" -- Documentation/learning
    12  David Kastrup
     9  Trevor Daniels
     3  Keith OHara
     2  John Mandereau
     2  Phil Holmes
     1  James Lowe
     1  Janek Warchoł

you'll see that for better or worse, beginners are not off my chart.
I am looking forward to your detailed reviews and proposals of
documentation changes to make them less pompous, bloated and snarky.

Here is a link to pending documentation issues in our tracker:

but of course feel free to tackle issues that others have overlooked.
