Anyone can document it.  Right now it ought to be documented on the  
Release Notes page.  I did look but didn't see it there, so I figured  
my first step would be to tell the list.  I didn't want to add it to  
the release notes quite yet.

Since these features are technically in beta, the actual  
documentation pages will probably not be updated quite yet.

Many people write the documentation.  PmWiki is documented  
collaboratively.  Any time you find a new solution to a problem and  
don't see it where you think it should be in the documentation, you  
can fix the documentation by adding a note, a link, an example, etc.   
I know I occasionally correct pages in the wiki at pmwiki.org, and I  
sometimes add things to documentation for script add-ons written by  
other contributors.

It's also how I started out with PmWiki volunteerism -- before I knew  
much, I took posts from the list where people gave each other  
examples, but the examples and explanations were not in the  
pmwiki.org documentation -- I cut & pasted wholesale as needed and  
put the info in the documentation myself.  Now that I develop modules  
for PmWiki, I try to make sure they are well-documented as well, but  
I have less time to maintain the overall documentation of the site.

I think I heard something about "Those who can, do.  Those who can't,  
teach." *ducks Patrick* :)  In this case "Those who can code,  
contribute.  Those who can't, document." :)  Anyone who wants to  
volunteer their time to help document will be doing PmWiki a great  
service, whether or not they can write code.

Right now, in this beta release cycle, things change so fast we're  
better off waiting for the dust to settle before changing the  
documentation.
