Maybe you could put that information in a more public place, for example here:
http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index
>From what you said, this page seem to be a bit outdated.

I don't really understand how it works at the moment. I browsed the CVS tree, but
most of the doc files are 7 months old, so there must be another place for the
real docs. Where can I get information about the state of the manual and the
work-flow?

Since I'm new to Blender, I can't contribute much. But while learning from the
docs I could do some proof-reading, if that's appreciated.

An idea: Why not write a script for making screenshots for the docs? Set up the
.blends and some additional files for the script to know what to do, and simply
run the script. Although there would have to be screenshot functionality to be
implemented in Blender: Keeping the docs up to date would be so much easier!

Best regards and a Happy New Year
