Another vote for our old friend "the docs are crappy" :/

I hope I can find some budget and people to start tackling this core
problem soon. Toby likes to say goofy things like "finding good tech
writers is easy", but that doesn't match my historical experience here
or at other companies. Does anyone have ideas about groups we could
reach out to that may know where to find aspiring tech writers or
accomplished ones who are interested in contributing to FLOSS
projects?
