Published docs are available in http://fedora.redhat.com/docs. Currently 
includes the online mirror, yum and installation guides as well as the 
release notes. There is the jargon buster,  FC 2/3 SELinux FAQs and 
SELinux guide on Apache as a beta for a long time. There is a relatively 
smaller guide on Udev and a tutorial on Stateless Linux.

The work in progress drafts are available at 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/ and 
http://webtest.fedora.redhat.com/.

Moreover all the RHEL and Fedora docs are being relicensed to OPL 
license and every documentation will be part of Fedora.

People have to contribute. Thats the way it will appear more sooner.  
The question here is how are you going to help?

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject

There are a number of people who have signed up on this list as 
interested contributors. 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Contributors. The number of 
varied actual contributions though is very low still. Lurkers need to 
get more active and start doing things. If we are going for 
documentation to just appear, they probably wont.   The latest project 
waiting for a contributor soon is a tour on Fedora Core 5. Want to grab 
that?

Thats one good source of information. We have the weekly reports for 
various projects at  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/WeeklyReports.
