Yes I would still prefer to have it actually in the club. > > Of course, it would have to be decided which documentation (all, none, > some?) would be available only to club members.

This are wrong thoughts. If the docs are in the club it is a way to attract people to be a member, even if it is available for all. If the number one ressource of documentation is in the club, all people get in contact with the club. We shoudn't force people to be member of the club to read some user contibuted documentation. The whole distro is free and all current documentation is under FDL. Maybe something additional like d/l the whole docs as zip(rpm/whatever) or a docs-voting system very likely to the rpm-voting (with testing-status before it goes to public or so) could add value for the club. > > So, do we want to help build value for the club, or just for ourselves? > Actually both ...
