Did not catch that on this very site... Well I would assume it is meant to
exclude explicitly a project just "to write documentation" and not necessarily
to prevent a more automatically generated one, which would include actual need
for coding I guess.

Well if we would really like that project idea, we can reach out and find out if
this would be acceptable or not. Should I?
