Greetings Moritz,
I've been thinking for some about emailing you about how I could contribute
to writing/improving Grass manual pages. As I'm sure you'll agree, the Grass
6.0 manual pages need a lot of work to bring the up to the same standard as
the Grass 5.3 pages. It looks like most of them were written by Radim!I have been using Grass for almost 3 years now. I wouldn't consider myself a
'power' user, but I do use Grass 5.4/6.0 daily for production work in
geoscience mapping and seafloor benthic habitat mapping. I would be glad to
write man pages for at least the programs I'm familiar with. I'll admit that
there are many Grass programs that I've never used before, but I'm willing
to take the time to experiment with the functionality to write the pages.Anyway, let me know what the best approach or method would be for me to
take.
Thank you for offering your help. I would call three years of daily use quite
a good level of experience !
I wrote a little Howto for contributions to man pages:

Please tell me if it is clear and complete enough or if you need more info.
