Here's how I suggest you proceed:

1. Read the trademark guidelines at:
http://fedora.redhat.com/about/trademarks/guidelines/

2. Tell us what questions these guidelines don't answer.

3. Wait for us to revise the guidelines.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

If you're looking to make a HOWTO on the wiki for people to ship Fedora
themselves, I'd say, go ahead and start working on it -- but make sure
that you understand the trademark guidelines and adhere rigorously to
them.
