One of the big challenges we are facing here is figuring out how to
satisfy the needs of all the distros and projects with a documentation
commons.  

Perhaps the first order of business would be to figure out:

1. Is there something that can be done in making a commons?
2. Is there an outcome that is worth the effort?
3. Do other distros and projects care?
