The instructions on getting the relevant docs from cvs and more details 
on getting started is available from the project pages
http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/

The docs team is also working on a stage area to build such docs 
automatically on a regular basis in the near future. You can also use 
the wiki for drafts
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiEditing

If you need edit group access, register in the wiki and let me know your 
username offlist.
