I'm glad to hear that it would even be welcomed.  When I've ranted 
against the general helpfulness of docs (not just here, and not just zsh 
docs, but throughout the Linux world), I'm usually met with a stout 
defense of the status quo.  Zsh docs are written very much in the 
standard style of Linux docs in general, that dust dry, list-of-facts 
that does anything but help you learn.  I'd be very interested in 
working on docs, but so far my preliminary efforts have been rebuffed 
without comment.
