Anyone can correct me if I am wrong. But the point of Season of Docs is
1. Generate content if none is available.
2. Very important is looking at the existing content and demystify it to
the nearest minimum (Sugar Labs needs this)
The idea for a technical writer is to simplify and transfer information
between Sugar Labs and anyone consuming the content.
To you, the content may look fine because you may not be the target, or in
this case, you are an author of some of the tools generated.
Having great doc is a demanding requirement for onboarding in open source,
and unfortunately, I can't say Sugar Labs has one(simplifications).
Also a completely different from GSoC.
