Hello, I think more documentation is almost always a good idea. In the center where I work, we have a section for 'Technical Reports' on the web. I think this is pretty standard. It is a repository for documents that may or may not be published and it is organized by date. The only issue is that sometimes a publisher will not accept an article if it has been available on the web, but that is something that the individual authors need to be aware of. On the other hand, other publishers are fine with the document remaining on the web once it has been published, so long as the published citation is referenced.
Another issue is quantity. I don't know how many documents are expected to end up here (only Debian specific, Linux specific, or any computer oriented articles), but if there are many, an organizational tree and/or search would be quite useful. Our center doesn't have that many and the tech. reports are simply organized by date. A site like the MCMC preprint service (http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~mcmc/) might be a good ultimate goal for this repository, if there are a lot of documents. It seems they have automated (to some degree) both document retrieval and submission. Brian
