I don't think it's crazy, but I don't think you have a good read on the current state of the project. Even the founder cannot work on the project full-time. It's probably a stretch to focus on course curriculum over technical debt.
Since you seem to have a background in instruction, I'd be glad to spend some one on one time with you to help you understand the platform, if you'd be willing to capture, distill and contribute back to our documentation.
