Very often I find that the documentation could easily be made a lot more helpful to a beginner like me simply by adding one or two sentences to a discussion of a particular topic. After doing maybe an hour or so of additional poking around in other parts of the *info* documentation I eventually find a missing detail that could have made my life a lot easier and saved me a lot of time had it only been mentioned in the right place. So my question is, is there someone who is in charge of keeping the *info* documentation up to date, to whom I could make occasional suggestions about how it could be improved with just a little tweak, like by adding one sentence here or there?
