How do Ubuntu.com and Kubuntu.org do it? I assume they don't add them manually? Additionally, would we consider unofficial community docs (ala the Ubuntu > Community help pages [3])?

Sounds cool, would this be review-based or should bloggers be able to add their own guides? Contributions might include items like putting compiz-fusion on Xubuntu, and > other helpful tips.

There is already a lot of Creative Commons material available, which could be used right away. However, since adding a guide to Xubuntu.org will also increase visibility of the blog of the original author I think it'd be fair enough to require all featured guides to be CC-licensed so we can be sure we avoid any legal problems.
