I encourage informal language and speaking directly to the users. Use of 
"you" and "we" helps us to better connect with users through the 
documentation. It also has the nice benefit of avoiding stilted 
formalities and awkwardness like "one should do this..." or trying to 
use "people should" or "users should".
