This is my last attempt. It really seems impossible to "get involved". What a shame.

I am doing many tutorials and read much about joomla, I want to fix the horrible documentation or outdated files, but I cannot. If you wait another one or two months, I am probably done reading tutorials any ways. So if you give me Wiki change rights right now, I could still improve a lot your documentation.
cheers

Thanks a lot for the help. When I created the wiki account, like a month ago, I didn't know the "How to get involved" article.
Now almost a month later I somehow assumed you cannot have an account unless you confirmed your e-mail. It just is like that everywhere where not confirming your e-mail turns out to be a show stopper, no?
If you do not have account, you can register for one below. By creating an account, you agree you have read the Joomla! Docs Wiki policy and will abide by these rules. Thank you for taking the first steps for helping with our documentation. Once your user account is created and your email address is confirmed, you should read our getting starting article, How to Contribute to Joomla! Documentation.
Well I didn't confirm my e-mail.... *sigh*
But the UI guy never responded.
not so important:
I wish I could do my part in improving the documentation, in case that's possible, feel free to add my user in the documentation wiki (same username, Toskan) to make it possible to make edits. Because as of now, it is quite a bit confusing the user. What am I talking about?

I am guessing from your note above, they were not apparent enough? I've made a small change, is the link to this article now noticeable on the home page?
Well I didn't confirm my e-mail.... *sigh*Why not? When you edit a page without a confirmed email, there is a message which will display above the top of the editor. Reads something along the lines of (paraphrasing)... you don't have permission, must be a member of the user's group: emailconfirmed. I did a test account creation and I can see the message noting this. Was this message missing for you?
