But if anyone wants to add more examples, tutorials, etc., that would be awesome. I suppose we could add a "Why to Contribute to Docs" writeup. I'm not sure that's something that can be won by persuasion, though. Better to find the people who are already energized about docs than try to convert the doubtful.
