I think the excitement about documentation is great, you can never work too hard on documentation. However I don't see the value in creating yet another source. I'd be more excited to see people contributing to the already existing documentation on the Wiki [0], the help site [1] [2] and the semi-official manual [3]. Dispersing effort on multiple projects to achieve the same goal seems a bit counter-productive to me but I guess that's the great thing about Linux, everyone is free to do as they please.
