YOu are right. This side is purely for authors.

Periodically the XML will be converted to HTML and PDF in language packages.
This hjappened weekely up to November 2003.

Readers, not authors, can browse HTML or download PDF.

Committing changes to the sources will still be moderated,
but we need a larger base of authors, and responsibles for
localization.

For other tasks than core docs we will need tutorials! But we are still
evaluating how these should be done.
