Honestly, I don't think we need to go out and create another 
documentation project. There have been many and to me that is the 
problem. If those who want to be part of documenting rails could come 
together as one and work as a team (documentation core team or what have 
you), that would be awesome.

The same story keeps being retold: "I started a documentation project, 
asked for help, after such and such time, received none and the site 
went dark". Something to think about there.


My suggestion would be to pull together and work on Jeremy's already 
existing project, instead of going out and trying to, again, create a 
doc project. Also, we could just write our own app for handling the 
documentation project, providing such features as the django book or 
what not. With pdf-writer, it'd be easy to spit out pdf versions of 
chapters or the whole book.

I'd rather see, and perhaps be part of, something like this than see 
another doc project created and hear later on that it too failed because 
no one joined it (instead they went out and created their own).
