This is difficult since documentation is a moving target! Being new to
the list and team I have learned "the hard way" that because of this
there is a lot to learn. In my opinion, part of the apparent lack of
goals has to do with the fact that the development version is subject to
a lot of change up until string freeze, then there is a mad dash to get
caught up.

There is a fair amount of documentation in the Wiki regarding the
standards of documentation.

There has been a lot of effort devoted toward cleaning up the Wiki and
revising the community wiki. TBH that is a huge goal and the guys
working on it right now could use some major help
