I think most of it will be done from scratch actually. For a few reasons. One being consistency, two being quality, and three being I don't think we can focus on Trisquel initially.

What I'm thinking is a book to help novice users to get up to speed on free software. Even while these users might be on free software friendly hardware Trisquel hasn't quite caught up to the usability that is needed for this base. This is not to say it doesn't work really well. The pieces which are a problem tend to be beyond the scope of the distribution.

Since we have to start somewhere I'm thinking of doing is sticking to the current path. Free software friendly hardware → teach the free software friendly apps (to the extent we can, make it easier to transition users later) → develop solutions to common non-free problems → actually transition users.

As I've mentioned before various problems with STS/LTS release model that isn't so much what I'm talking about here. Mainly things like limited entertainment/'gaming' options and similar. Trisquel also seems to be buggy enough still that it would be too significant a deterrent. The last thing I want is to push a solution that will turn users off of free software in the future. Something I know a lot of us have done and/or continue to do.
