That's a really good idea.

I think the hurdles newbies have to take to start working on the 
project are really high. They often retire because they can't find 
the informations they need easily. That doesn't mean its not 
documented somewhere, it's just too hidden for them. When we could 
clear that up without limiting the "power"-contributors it would be 
good.

I really appreciate your work and look happy forward to your findings. 
It can only improve our project and make it better.
