Documentation maintenance is a different process from code maintenance.
I'm telling this on the base of working on the guide in the last 1.5
years. The maintainer is responsible for keeping the document clean and
consistent.
Therefore it really makes things better if there is an owner of the
documentation project and people submitting the patches to him or her.
Drew, once you get an initial doc, we will give you a CVS access to the
modperl-site repository, which is given to all people who do
significant contribution to the project. It shouldn't take a long time.
If in the future you will not be able to maintain someone else would do
that, so there is no problem with that.
Forking the project onto another server isn't really a good idea.
