    Totally agree. And I’d argue that we don’t even need technical writers. Even if all people do is correct grammar and spelling mistakes it would be helpful, let alone actually writing docs. It’s one of the easiest ways non-technical folks can get involved with open source projects.

      Every time I get stuck on something confusing I’m a README and figure it out I try to submit a patch that makes it more explicit.
