It would be nice to know what you struggled with. Writing documentation, if you know a program inside out, makes you immune to common errors or confusing explanations. (And that's not a pity excuse, really) Each piece of documentation includes an encouragement and contact info for sending feedback. If you still remember the pitfalls, I'd appreciate if you let me know. Open Source principals do not only cover source code. You don't need to be a programmer to provide valuable feedback on documentation, implementation or infrastructure.
