Documentation project status

[Nick]

Yes, it seems there is much confusion about this.  After reading many of 
the comments after my original post, and the lack of a significant 
roadmap for this project, I fail to see the purpose of a Fedora 
documentation project. "Tutorial style articles" instead of significant 
documentation will drive away newcomers faster than anything.  Let's 
look at a couple other major distros, Debian and Mandrake.  They have an 
enormous amount of installation, configuration, and administration docs 
for their releases.  What's Fedora have?  Much of RH9 documentation is 
applicable, so should there be a notice on the documentation project 
site for people to use those documents?  I don't know, I thought I was 
be myself here, but it looks like many other have the same concerns.
