Just wanted to follow up on this... my articles were apparently too 
in-depth for our users. (I think I wrote too much about workflow, roles, 
and groups.) And to be honest, the more I read over them, the more I 
think they are too similar to the existing Plone Book docs.

So, I'm going to ditch them and reapproach them as a series of short 
task-specific "How do I... ?" instructions, again geared for end-users 
in an intranet environment. More of a "quick reference" than a "book", I 
think.

Same offer stands - I'd like to contribute them when I finally get it 
all done.
