with a few subtle exceptions related to bugs that are fixed in 2.0.7 every question i've been asked in regard to using maven2 has been found in the documentation in under 5 minutes

That might be the case for the questions you came across. The mere traffic on this list proves that there are indeed loads of questions the documentation doesn't answer. Also this kind of thread about how improvable the documentation is occurs frequently on this list. The last big attempt to make the docs better has AFAIK been this one:

http://www.nabble.com/Maven-2.x-documentation-tf382504s177.html#a1055690

Possibly that sort of campaign should be done on a regular base or, even better, Maven should have a technical writer who cares about documentation issues. I'm aware of the fact that Maven is a open source project, however, there are businesses built around it (among other tools) that might have an interest in better docs and less rant on the mailing list.

Just my 2 cents (I'm no native English speaker and therefore unfortunately can't really help with this kind of task).
