Well, you can't write 100% accurate documentation now, but GRUB 2 will never be finished (as in: software is never finished), so you do not have to wait. Better start now and improve as we go along. Did you read the texinfo documentation from GRUB Legacy? This is the quality I am hoping for. So not a manpage, but good documentation that explains all features, etc. Really, documentation is as important as the code itself. I would become really happy if you would be willing to work on this. You don't need many technical skills and there are enough people around who are willing to help you, when questions arise. Do you want to work on this? It is a big job, but you can learn a lot from this. -- Marco
