I'm happy to format stuff as texinfo for you if you want to write 
text for the website, for example the inspirational essay "why to 
use Lilypond" that (I think) we're still looking for, or if you 
want to revise text in the docs, call our attention to typos and 
so forth.  If someone comes along as says exactly where there's a 
problem in the docs and provides (even in an email) an exact line 
with which to replace it, then to me that's a significant 
contribution and I'm happy to integrate it to the docs.
