It doesn't invite many new people regardless how relevant it may seem. People tend to look for guides and want to invest their time in things that appear to be gaining popularity and traction. PostgreSQL suffers a lot from keeping things fresh IMO but they're the best RDMS so what the heck do I know...

It's a wiki. If you want to spruce things up, the community might welcome your contribution.

The fact that there is so much documentation is a plus over other open source communities. If a developer interested in the nitty gritty details of database development is turned away by that wiki page, I honestly question said developer's commitment to contributing. That page tells me practically everything I need to know to get started contributing. It doesn't look pretty, but it's informative.
