Um... _how_?

Yes, I am one of the 200 lurkers you called out in your "Time to give back!" message a couple of months ago.  Guilty as charged.  But at the risk of sounding like a troll, I can't find any documentation on how to contribute to the documentation.

I've been following the documentation project on the mailing list.  I think it's great, but I have no idea how to get started.  There was mention of a wiki, which I found encouraging because public wikis are a convenient, low-overhead way to contribute small bits of documentation.

That doesn't seem to have been realized yet.  I've seen links to a couple of wikis, but neither is editable.

And a few days ago there was this note in a different thread.

I'm left wondering:  Will there be a wiki?  Where?  Should I preemptively ask to be added to the repositories?  The organization?  Do you want pull-requests?  Issues?  The fact that I don't know how I'm expected to contribute is a barrier to getting started.

Maybe you have already addressed all these questions and I'm just blind or an idiot (can never rule that one out) but I'm unable to find the answers.

Could I request, please, a how-to guide https://github.com/DrCuis/How-to-guides on contributing to the documentation, preferably linked-to from the organization's readme https://github.com/DrCuis ?
