Just making screenshots without actually writing docs is a bit pointless :)

OK, read the orange banner in manual pages: the plan is to keep the 2.4 
manual as well as the 2.5 and next ones, hence we don't remove images or 
pages.

Better don't put labels in the image itself, because a screenshot can be 
ok for next versions too, less work: to me the best thing is put the 
version in file names.

Also, as soon as time will permits, we will start some automatic 
screenshotting procedure, so I'd wait a bit with screenshots.

If you have time and will you could look at the todolist
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Wiki_Tasks
and provide some documentation in the sandbox, here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Sandbox

You'll find guidelines here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Guides/Writer_Guide
and
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Guides/Style_Guide

Luca
