Documentation is a big thing that's unfortunately often overlooked. It's not as sexy as adding new features or fixing elusive bugs, but it can really make or break a project for others to use.
And not even documentation, even just adding examples without explaining anything can be so incredibly helpful.
There's a whole bundle of tools that will never be used because its too difficult to figure out how to use them.
Yes, folks, whenever you see a problem or get confused by something submit a fix for it! I've submitted a PR for a Vim plugin that mentioned some weird Vin task that I added the command to do the thing mentioned. My reasoning was that not everyone knows what that meant. They accepted. I hope it has helped more novice Vim users (like myself) once it was accepted.
