Hello,

Could you work like we do for QEP? i.e Write the text in a ticket, ask for 
comment and label it as finished (or to be integrated in the documentation).

I will be happy to do it (assign the ticket to me) if everybody agree with 
this process!

Pros:
* lower the barrier
* easy to comment for a (small) chapter even if this is better and easier in a 
PR for bigger chapter though
* easy also to improve some part of an existing chapter (typos, missing 
informations)

Cons:
* make sure to finalized it :)

Y.
