If you're getting into this sort of endeavour, you might want to have a
look at the 181 open doc-bug PRs so you're not duplicating any efforts.
There are some interesting things in there, like this:
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=9627

(I'm sure there are some old documentation PRs that are no longer
relevant and can be closed, for that matter.  There are duplicates
complaining about IPF documentation being out of date or incomplete,
for instance.)
