No, it doesn't involve any coding, and it is a continuous stream of small 
incremental improvements, not a recognizably modular project.

Quoting Karl Fogel:

| You'd need to read most messages [on users@ and dev@],
| at least glance at each one, in order to do it.
| Being a FAQ manager means understanding all the
| problems people are having, finding the common themes, and writing new
| FAQ entries about them (or updating existing FAQ entries).
|
| There's no need to apply for the job, though, you can just start doing
| it! :-) Create patches against www/faq.html and post them here, as
| http://subversion.tigris.org/mailing-list-guidelines.html#patches
| describes. We'll review them and commit them when ready. Eventually,
| when they're always right the first time, we'll dispense with the
| pre-commit review and just ask you to commit directly.
|
| Thanks for asking, and good luck!

Max.
