This is a good point, and it is a universal challenge (in both open
source and proprietary projects). It needs effort.
But there must be correlation between successful projects and
well-documented ones: If actively try to lower the barrier one needs
to overcome to start working with elementary (both on the core
projects and at the application layer, but we are mostly talking about
the first) we will get more people contributing, and contributions of
better (or "aligned") quality.

extremely low.
The google doc we started that one time was a complete piece of
crap.
Technical writing isn't just boring, it's incredibly difficult to
do right

to do.
