Hmm, in the view that this is a large undertaking, I would vote for focusing on that which works uniformaly accross platforms first. such additional, platform specific information can be added later, possbily marked by an apple, windows symbol or tux in the margin to mark which platform its intended for. While realizing that indeed many come to xe(la)tex with little to no background in (la)tex, being myself one of those, I do think it might be best to start work on the more xe(la)tex specific parts. Given the outline proposed, it might be best to start by filling in those parts on which we see most questions on the list here and only after fan out to discussing packages that work equally well on latex. In that way, the documentation would already be useful in beta stage and could already be referred to from here for a more in-depth answer to common questions. In view of that, whichever repository the doc would be saved in, I guess it would be good if that system comes with some kind of compiled package download function (like sourceforge has) as well, so those with the basic questions can get the pdf directly.
