I was referring to educational level. I try as much as possible when
authoring documentation to adhere to a baseline level. e.g. the target
grade for readability formulas, kincaid, flesch, gunning-fog, etc....

More with regards to urls, project titles, etc... I have written for
fedora, and they have a common file that includes all project titles,
urls and such for all community entities. Obviously this keeps
references more consistent throughout the community contributions. Not
to mention if a project were to change names or urls; it can be
disseminated throughout all documentation with a simple change and then
rebuild documents. 

Does anything like that exist currently for opensuse-doc? If not, I
would like to formally request such. I don't mind doing the
coding/research to achieve a comprehensive and consistent resource for
all authors. Let me know. I can work up a prototype if the community
would be so inclined.
