I'd find this useful too. I am interested in all except the Packaging
Guide, but although I have some DocBook experience I'd like to have a
better idea of what the task is before I jump in.
Since there are people popping up to take these responsibilities, it's
important to lay out answers to these questions. That will help us keep
momentum going even during a lull in release notes progress, which I
realize has been on everyone's minds the past week or so.
