I found this to be pretty thorough, but I wasn't actually trying to
package software when I read it:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines

Yes, but let's note something.  Documentation produced by FDP is in the
form of stand-alone guides and the like that look at all or aspects of
an installed sysstem.  However, project-specific documentation is
probably best handled by that project.

So, in this case, we could champion the rewriting of the RPM Guide
(currently fallow in CVS), and draw from the Packaging/Guidelines.
Think of Packaging/Guidelines as an upstream source we can draw from to
produce other downstream content.  It's all OPL (the whole Wiki is), so
it works well.

Does that clear things up, or ...?
