That's exactly the reason why I was asking. :-)
OK, how do we go about it?
Last time (pretty long ago) we were discussing documentation was when we
thought about using LinuxDoc or whatever document format the FreeBSD people
were using for their Handbook etc. I think I'll have a look at this first,
but if anybody has experience with this, I'd like to hear from him.
The benefit of using such a format is that you can get all kinds of document
formattings out of it, HTML, ASCII, LaTeX etc... so I think it's really worth
to use it.

That's where users like me can help out. We just need to define how the
documents are to be written (document format, maybe some style rules), who
maintains them and how submissions can be made.

Both a new console (enabling me to load a German keymap) and a better X
server is something I'd really appreciate VERY much. Good work!
