Hello,
I am interested in working on this idea. Can anyone please connect to the mentor, so I can discuss details, requirements and other stuff.
Kunaal,
Thanks for reaching out to me directly, I missed your original email. I'm going to paste over your follow-up questions and reply to them here for the benefit of all.
First, let me point to the docs strategy proposal I just posted:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-docs/2015-March/005593.html
That proposal is part of what prompted me to generate this GSoC idea.

As I mentioned in the subject I am interested in implementing and creating a new documentation toolchain. From my limited understanding, we need a toolchain which will allow users to write technical content at a central place, and then convert it into standard technical document and tag them under appropriate git repository. Please point me where I am wrong and correct.
Mainly correct. I'm not sure that we need a central place, it's mainly that I think we can take advantage of the popularity and low barriers that GitHub presents, without tying ourselves to GitHub as "the solution."
It would be very convenient if you can describe in detail the technical specifications you expect from the project as well as some resources to get started. I can read the resources and work on them and get back to you.
Look at the above strategy proposal as a starting place. I think you should join the centos-docs mailing list, too. I'm fine right now with discussing there and on centos-devel, the goal being to get our discussions in front of the people using and affected by these tools.
The reason I am interested in this project is because I believe that It will be a life changing for many of users as well authors. I learnt setting up, troubleshooting centOS server, fedora, linux and all relevant stuff from resources scattered over internet and with poor quality. Now with this toolchain we can have all the resources related to CentOS projects at one place with proper specifications. Kudos!!
You have the right idea!
I know I didn't provide all your answers here, but I think what I wrote in the proposal on centos-docs will spark more ideas, so let's start with that discussion and keep moving.
