Personally it will be easier if we start using Sphinx along with
reStructruedText. Most of the documents I write[1] or manage[2] are in
Sphinx using rst. It required I can provide IRC classroom trainings and
other training material to get anyone into Sphinx within few hours.

We can have a Fedora focused theme for Sphinx projects.
