FDP Volunteers:

Here is a recent article addressing linux documentation, which offers
some food for thought:

http://www.lockergnome.com/nexus/it/2007/09/03/poor-community-advice-is-no-substitute-for-linux-documentation/

Here is an excerpt:

"Wiki-styled pages are great for those who enjoy opening one tabbed
page after another just for a concise how-to, but for most people,
Wiki's are best for learning about single topics, not for complete
documentation.

At the end of the day, it will be up to the community and the people
who work hard to put this documentation together in the first place.
What I feel is helpful may not be for others who share considerably
different opinion on how to best present documentation to Linux users
as a collective, not as separate groups of new and advanced users."
