we need a doc too

Dear list,

It is nice to see that grub 1.97 is on its way. Everyone is waiting
for this power pack. But we also need a good doc for it.
The wiki is out-dated.

We need help with the manual.  There are no GRUB Legacy-specific sections
anymore, but critical parts are missing.  Can you help with that?

I am afraid to say; but I have never written any manual before. If the materials are there and the guide-line is available then I like to have that experience too. the only factor is time. If a short time restriction is there then I am not the right person to do it.
