Do you want help?
I don't know much about the API at the moment, but it is my Level-Up assignment this quarter. Documenting things is a good way to learn them.
I have written a lot of courseware in the past.

Luke, that would be awesome! Even though we have tons of various
documentation at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Api , it can use a lot of cleanup and simplification, so as not to scare people away.
A simple slow start tutorial might help.
Also, as part of the docs cleanup, if you want to get your feet wet with the api code, you could help with simplifying the api.php help system - api.php without params shows this huge dump of all docs. This is not very helpful. Instead, it would be better to create a TOC with links - just module names and short description. Clicking on the module would bring up the detailed information about just one module (per module help has already been done).
Let me know what you think. --Yurik
