What about adding an area for contributitors names/usernames who are working on the joomla documentation?
We also to be sure that not only is the documentation "grammatically" correct, it also must be "technically" correct. Having someone who is "technically" knowledgeable about joomla on this team will help to ensure that what we write "well" is also correct from technical viewpoint.
