Do you feel that everything that needs to be known about Interchange is
already written down and just needs to be juggled around? If that's the
case, I believe that I have a bit of competency toward doing that.

If you feel that there is quite a bit more that needs to be added, then that
(probably) requires that someone crawl inside of your head and learn what
you have done.

In my personal opinion, the docs need more examples of how to use something
(a tag, perhaps) in a piece of workable code. I would write some things in
an attempt at documentation, but I know just enough about IC to keep my
store up and running and maintained.

If it's just a matter of juggling and tweaking, I would be willing to give
it a try.
