Xfce documentation and Wiki Ideas

[Brock Hudson]

Nathan, I like that idea of the outline, perhaps since it involves moving
things and creating new pages we should also have a goals and a deadline.

As far as what Kevin stated that there are both 4.6 and 4.8 releases out I
certainly think we should focus on 4.8 for now because it will get us
started in that cycle of Rawhide > Stable > Official Release notes. 4.6 we
can always work on, however 4.8 will be what I am putting my attention on
for now so we can get some awesome docs up.
