How about we do better then that; and write up a proposal. In order for the proposal to go ahead though we are going to have to ask for some help. We have gotten by with the initial idea from Justin - but we are going to need a bit more help setting up Sphinx and make files and so forth. I would rather ask Justin for help up front and coordinate on this one then wait until we have gotten stuck.  We may need to ask questions of Mike who did the geoserver docs?
