Hello, I did catch up with Phil Bull and Milo Casagrande at GUADEC 2010 and we felt we were all on the same page that the user docs for Evolution needed a real push for GNOME3.
Migrating the exact same 2.31.x user doc to Mallard [1] may not be a good start. Most of the issues that our users face are documented mostly on [2], and since the FAQ is built over the past few years based on user queries on mailing lists and IRC, we felt that is exactly what the user docs should ideally contain. So this is what we feel would be ideal to do, 1) Fetch the content from the FAQ and move it to Mallard. 2) Start a new gitorious doc project for Evolution. 3) Get the good things back from the existing 2.31.x documentation. I think Phil already has a new project done for it, and would slowly start integrating the good pieces into it. One other issue that surfaced during our discussion, Do we have a licensing on the FAQ page? I talked to Michael and Andre about it. They told me it is fine to go ahead with it, and since most of the content was uploaded by the users themselves, the Doc team could re-license it to whatever they feel is appropriate and use them. Revert back, if anyone feels I missed anything. I am bad at the legal aspects of it, so if anyone else feels this is not right, let us know. If all goes through well, we should have the docs merged soon. And trust me, the users would love the doc experience with the new format.
