Thing is, the doc project needs someone to take charge and then 
coordinate items.  e.g. establish what needs to be done, then hand out 
the tasks.

In short, definitely not.  :)

In general people are bad at knowing what they didn't know.  They only 
know what they know now. So, it's better for someone who doesn't know 
how something works to write about it. Any gaps in knowledge can be 
obtained by asking.  Or by trying.

And again, you don't have to be doing the writing.  People will take up 
the tasks. They just need someone to tell them what needs doing.
