Erm, its not my decision to create a separate docs project - the docs
project's task is clearly stated at:
	http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/

Its just like we don't do translations on f-d-l, as there's
fedora-trans-list

That's because they're mostly in creation, and aren't ready yet for
prime time. Why not use existing RH9 documents? Karsten has a really
good answer (look at 3&4 together):
