Hi Phil. I'm pretty sure you are qualified to fix anything
that you can tell is not right. Take a look at this:
http://www.haiku-os.org/documents/dev/haiku_documentation_team_how_to .
There's also the haiku-doc mailing list for folks working on
documentation. I'm not a person in authority or anything, but I've
been getting my head around some documentation tasks, too. Hope to see
you on the list!
