Please read my message. I asked where do I send it to?

I don't think the average user is going to learn enough about Latex or the
documentation to be effective.

There are hundreds of separate files in the IBM documentation. Who will
proof the edits? Or check the technical accuracy, expecially on all the
different architectures suported?

The IBM documentation looks like it was emitted from a very sophisticated
internal documentation system.

That doesn't sound like a reasonable assumption to me, either in theory or
in practice.

This is an open-source project, and it needs to be possible for people to
contribute changes to it, including to its documentation.  Not changes of
the form "Ted, please make it say blah".  Changes in the form of patches,
which can be integrated by gatekeepers, without your involvement.
