I'd be more in favor of updating the docs along with a true
post-Apache "-incubating" release. The docs have historically been
tied to the release, and while correcting problems in the docs without
a release is definitely OK, I don't think they should be updated to
reflect changes which are not present in the latest release, and the
latest release is pre-Apache (0.9.9).

Beyond that, it's not overly complicated, no. It's written in Docbook,
has its own Makefile, and is contained within its own git repository
(with README documenting the build):

https://github.com/apache/incubator-guacamole-manual

Speaking of which ... the READMEs of just about all repositories now
need to be updated to reflect the newly-deployed website and the
migration to Apache's JIRA.

If we don't need to wait for TLP status to request registration of
"Guacamole" as an ASF trademark, I'd be glad to get that process
going. Is this the case?

Logos as well? We currently have three:

1) The detailed full-color guac bowl (currently used as the page favicon)
2) The low-detail tri-color guac bowl (the logo used on the homepage,
within the web application, and just about everywhere else)
3) A monochrome version of the same low-detail logo

The closest thing we have thus far are the contribution guidelines and
the help/support page:

http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/open-source/
http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/support/

Based on the conversation regarding the recent proposed contribution
of a Portuguese translation [1], it sounds like the guidelines above
may be partially incorrect, as they note CLAs as a requirement.

Anything you see in the above pages that could use more description of "flow"?
