I am. But haven't got very far.
I have planned to write some kind of FVWM documentation

Why? Just put your efforts in augmenting/improving the **existing**
documentation, such as the man pages.

At least, I plan to document how to install current FVWM versions
on Debian systems. This isn't something that fits into a man page.
Also showing the sources of the existing documentation (man pages,
...) could be a good idea. I don't plan to replace the man page.
It makes more sense to show how to use the man page to write
a useful config, which matches to a certain use case (defined by
me).
When I actually start producing documentation ready to publish,
I can decide in the respective given case if I put it into my
own documentation or if I augment/improve the man page.
This depends on if my pieces of information match more to my
concept, which applies FVWM, or if these pieces of information
are so general that it is obvious that they belong into the
man page.
For me, FVWM is a part of a more larger concept. But as I wrote
before, my biggest problem currently is time management.
It makes me sad that I have a big plan and that I just can't
continue working on it. Currently, I'm adressing exactly this
problem. I still have the chance to win this fight...
