Speaking for no one but myself, I'd say that this sounds very
worthwhile. Red Hat started to produce a Security Guide in the
documentation portion of later incarnations of Red Hat Linux, so a set
of Fedora security guides seems like a good idea as well.

I think the push has been for the Docs Project to produce small,
self-contained tutorials. Perhaps in the interest of preserving
continuity, the best starting point would be to think of how the
security guides could be broken up... perhaps into groups like
file/resource security, general host security, and service security
(with each service represented separately). I could also see general IT
security and incident response being covered by tutorials as well.

I have a background in investigative forensic media analysis, and
although I don't have a CISSP or comparable rating, this still piques my
interest. :-)
