	So - one thing that is prolly worth doing, is adding a few easy hacks;
we could add a SkillHelp to:

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks_Bugzilla_Whiteboard_Status

	And then file some of the worst areas that you see in passing but don't
have time to fix as bugs with:

EasyHack,DifficultyBeginner,SkillHelp,TopicCleanup

	in their whiteboard status ? (then again Bjoern is the expert here).

	Of course, large changes to the help such as re-ordering may hurt
translators - but no idea.

	HTH,

		Michael.
