JB, starting to work on a release would be great. It will both allow a larger audience to try out ACE and it will help grow the community.
My suggestion would be to start small with wiki pages. Based on the content volume it will not be hard to morph into a manual subproject later. Also a release could be done even before the guides are ready. The feedback on the first release may help shaping up the guides. Plus getting the release process right may take a bit of effort. Any volunteer for release manager role? I was a release manager for a couple of projects and I volunteer to help the volunteer :).
