I mentioned `htmldoc` many months ago on the IRC but maybe everyone was drunk
back then and didn't pay attention. Darn, I *really* should start writing
everything (ideas, tasks) down for future reference... :/

I've updated our wiki page about the PDF creation together with some TODOs.
Anyone wants to help out with those?

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Tools/PDFconversion

Attached on the page you can find a PDF I created and instructions/info about
the use of `htmldoc`. Here's a quick link [1].

The cool thing with this is that we can add many 'no-chunks' files to naivly
create a big Guide.

I think we should really try to find a way not only to create our docs online
but to also *maintain* them. "Wiki -> XML" is indeed great, but unless we get it
as much automated as possible, the overhead is a nightmare.
