A lot of documentation that needs to happen is for developers...

As you know I'm not advanced enough to offer help with developer documentation. I think some of the contributions such as using views to create a grid view of your products could be made into tutorials since they are more configuration than code.

That said, our installation instructions and configuration instructions could use some review. I'm confident there's plenty to be updated. A lot has been added over the past several releases, and I don't know that all the new menus are fully described. Even some screenshots would be nice to put in there for new users.

This is something I can do. I would be happy to go over these sections and review them, updating them where needed. Devlopment goes quickly here and there are always new features to document which is all the more reason to stay on top of things.

I'm definitely up on a comprehensive feature list and would love to help with that. Shawn has been doing work on something like this, but it's more a comparison of key features w/ other carts. I'd love to go through each part of the cart and itemize the features without being too annoying about every little thing. (ex: Awesome feature! You can view an order!!!)

Both a comprehensive features list and comparison to the major open source ecommerce applications would be best in my opinion. I feel the documentation should be written in as unbiased a way as possible and obvious things should be left out where possible. The comparison and the features list are, in a way, related since most key features people will be looking for are those found in other systems.

I'll have a look through the documentation properly later on and see what I can come up with. At least, I will be able to make a start.
