Why? -- "A Modest Proposal"

[Richard Owlett <rowlett@cloud85.net>]

There exist SOC <Summer of Code> projects to encourage/mentor 
fledgling programmers.
Considering the state of documentation, esp man pages, why no SOD 
<Summer of Documentation> projects for potential tech writers.

In many areas, nerds are considered illiterate. I can see SOD 
projects as a vehicle to encourage technically oriented teens to 
hone their composition skills. Attempting to edit existing man 
pages might be a good starting point. It would obviously require 
mentors with an atypical mixture of skill sets.

P.S. Apologies to J. Swift ;)
