It's a bitch.  You really need to understand the project's code, and
know what the developers are trying to accomplish, to do it well.

The only real documentation that you can sort of just dip into is the
translation stuff (eg Ubuntu's Rosetta stuff, gettext).

You can always report bugs against documentation, but those often get
ignored because the developers think they're gonna change the behavior
anyway.

Linux documentation project, for one.
