Xfce documentation and Wiki Ideas

I would like to first respond to Nathan's email, 

"Not everyone who uses Fedora has easy, unlimited to access to the 
internet, so at some point we need to get the new Xfce guide available 
in some downloadable form. But the wiki is definitely a good place to 
develop the guide."

Great point, never thought about that, we should absolutely cater to
those individuals. As far as the format, I'm not really a fan of PDF
but I am sure individuals in the mailing lists have some ideas on how
to make this portable for users. 

Upon brainstorming, I thought that perhaps we use wiki as our testing
grounds for what goes into the Official Documentation. We can all
decide what makes it in, and while transferring it to Official
Documentation we can also create portable formats for users. I think we
should branch Wiki documentation into two areas, Stable and Rawhide,
because I know some users already compile and use the newest releases
and updates for Fedora and we can get a jump start on Rawhide
Documentation by allowing those individuals to contribute in that wiki.
Rawhide documentation could then transfer into stable after review and
finally transfer to official docs prior to Rawhide's release.
