Well, many people send replies on what is difficult, ask questions,
etc. It's just that no one writes a patch to fix the documentation.
I'm afraid that no one has or takes the time to update the docs
according to the suggestions we get via the mailing lists, that's
reality. Could you please do that? Please discuss what you want to
do before doing it, for example the FAQ was already reworked(but not
yet on hurd.gnu.org), it would be a waste of time for you if you would
do that again.
