I'm currently working on docs.gimp.org for the latest gimp-help release.
Additionally I want to prepare the site for the upcoming GIMP 2.4
release. I can help fixing some points above in spare time. How do we
avoid conflicting work on the same point? Do I just post on this
mailinglist what I'm working on or does it make sense to write bugs for
a few points listed here?

For example, I would start validating the links in /links/.

Cheers,
