I would say that documenting the 3.3 plips has higher priority now
than documenting older ones.

Although this looks rather counter-intuitive, I feel 3.3 ones are more
feasible now. Moreover, I think they will constitute a good test of
whether or not we are in good shape to bind the documentation to the
development process, i.e. if we can document changes before (or very
shortly after) the new Plone version that includes these changes is
released.

IMHO, if we can't do that, Plone documentation is condemned to stay
out-of-date forever and ever.

Potential contributors: please keep in mind you don't have to be a
Plone master to do your bit. If you don't feel confident about writing
documentation, you can always review others' work, look for poorly
documented tasks, etc.
