Edward Haddock started this already, from the angle of just trying to
understand the sign-up process:

Edward -- if you want to write that up in plain text, OO.org doc, or
whatever you are most comfortable with, another of us can convert it to
XML and make it build with our toolchain.  Then you'd have a good, XML
reference source to continue work from.  We can also generate a
barebones outline in XML, with chapters sparsely populated with content
ready to fill out, based on your outline.

Just two moving-forward ideas. :)

http://autobuild.org/ ?

Perhaps Elliot and Tommy's look at DIY on webtest.fedora might make the
argument for Autobuild stronger or ...?

I'd like to see the Wiki graduate content into the CMS, just as it
graduates contributors from the lower-level tools to the upper-level
tools.  This models the growing pattern we all have as writers, from
basic content to more advanced content.
