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.

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'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.

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.
