> The bar is a lot higher than that. You have to understand English and understand the functions themselves.
In general, you're certainly correct. I was thinking too much about Python, where there's a strict but easy to follow guideline that all public APIs are documented, so the lowest level work has already been done. Because of that, there aren't a ton of places where you'd need a super deep understanding of the code in question to make a documentation impact. A lot of it is updating, removing, and reformatting. You'll see a lot more "reformat this paragraph as a table" issues than "write the whole doc for the wizbang module", the former being a fairly easy task.
