Topic 1: Add or improve documentation here on the wiki
Important, because: The wiki is an important documentation platform for Gentoo. We exchange our knowledge there, but the wiki needs also some care.


 * Requested articles - Articles about things our community would like to know more about, but haven't been written yet.
 * Contribute to articles in the Todo category:
 * Dirty - Clean up 'dirty' articles by improving grammar, punctuation, or clarity.
 * Outdated articles - Bring outdated articles up to speed on current practices.
 * Stub - Fill stub articles with appropriate content.
 * Misused templates - Fix misused templates.
 * Wikify articles - Add proper formatting to articles that need wikification.
 * Todo articles - Cross off itemized tasks that need action.
 * Suggestions - Suggest wiki maintainers to make a wiki-wide change.
 * Our wiki article about the Ryzen CPUs in Gentoo is important for many users, and needs some care.
