Hi Patrice/Jens,

Currently the documentation-devel project is #2 in google's pageranking.

Additionally, as requested, here is a link to the project page:
https://fedorahosted.org/documentation-devel

Based on the google page ranking metric and the provision of additional project
documentation for your review, we formally request the preservation of the
documentation-devel name for this project.

Best regards,
Mike
