The DocsRawhide (rawhide of documentation) beta has been live for a
little while:

There are many purposes this basic technology can be used for.
At it's core, it checks out the latest content from CVS and builds it at
static URLs.
This is fully draft, may burn your computer documentation. It's purpose
is to let anyone view what is in CVS without needing a build
environment.
What are your ideas of what to do with this tool? What should we make
it do?
My original idea behind the suggestion was to enhance visibility to the
documentation in progress and potentially get more reviewers and
contributors and bring in transparency to the project. Fedora
Documentation could sit into a portal with links and search for the
following information
* End user docs
* Printed books - Fedora books from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Books and perhaps
http://www.redhat.com/magazine/013nov05/features/bookreview/,
* Red Hat magazine
* Manual and info pages - see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/FedoraDocsSchedule
* In progress docs (docs rawhide) with appropriate warnings
* RPM Package lists with meta data information about the packages.
RPM The package descriptions in many cases are vague or outdated. I saw
a reference to the SELinux in the IRC meeting logs which applies RPM
package descriptions too. The Fedora documentation project should be
accountable for the end user docs, man and info pages, keeping track of
printed books and active involvement and coordination towards getting
more such books published even from the formal Fedora docs. package
description and website content etc to cover everything comprehensively.
