We are aware of this wiki; it has its uses, such as synchronizing for
FOSDEM, GSoC, and other events, but we never intended to use it for
documentation.

It’s unfortunate that your reply to Ricardo dismisses their advice.  It
really boils down to this: read bits of the manual and cookbook that
matter to your use cases, articulate what you think is missing or poorly
structured, and propose changes or new text.

It’s much easier to make progress looking at concrete, focused changes
than in the abstract.

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
