If you are frustrated by the documentation of a library and would love a chance to help make it better, there is now a place to offer your services.
Even if I'm not a native English speaker? Is there any way how can I help with documentation? At least I can read it:)

To me, the idea of having non-native English speakers look at the docs to see if they are clear enough sounds like a good one. Boost isn't a resource for only native English speakers, so if there is something reasonable that can be done to make it more accessible, it should be considered.
FWIW, the C++ committee sets up a small ad hoc drafting committee at each meeting to read formal motions to ensure the wording is OK. They always try to include at least one person who is not a native English speaker. Reporting weaknesses in documentation is one of the more valuable ways to help out with Boost. And fixes for any problems found are especially appreciated. --Beman
