I'm afraid famous people are everywhere you look these days!  Most of them
don't bite, though.  So if you ask a question, the worst that can happen is
likely that you might get an answer <wink>.

I saved your msg, and hope to address it when I can make time for it.  As
Jeremy said, when bugs are biting and missing features are crushing, there's
not much sanction for working on incomplete "almost there" docs.  A possible
problem with the ZODB guide is that it's written using Python's extensive
set of LaTeX doc macros, and that raises the bar for contributing
improvements to it.  I don't think Wikis are an adequate substitute for
docs, but anyone who disagrees is encouraged to prove me wrong!
