Well you may end up being the person documenting it ;)

You know, I think that would be useful.  A lot of the hard work with
LfW was done by Andrew and Ryan collecting docs together, and it's
such an important thing - LR/LD are magnificent build/distribution
services but there is too much inconsistency for automated tools to
collect documentation together.  We try to make things as easy as
possible, but it seems developers don't even like writing a 'simple
sentence in English' for each function they expose.
