That's a good question that I'm not 100% sure of the answer to, but I  
think for now, it will remain pretty similar to what's in the wiki  
already (definitely not on one page :). The scope defined in my  
original proposal was to separate out theory or tutorial content from  
the reference docs as chapter introductions or separate tutorials,  
and apply the template to what's left - more about low-level editing.

This will no doubt involve some amount of chopping and changing  
though, and for that I'll largely refer to the old ML discussions  
too. Anyway, when I'm through with this stuff, once the text is  
edited and in more clearly defined chunks and we can see more clearly  
just what sort of content is there and what still needs to be  
written, it will become much easier to move things around on a higher  
level (chapters etc). However that's not really the main goal of what  
I'm trying to do with this project and it could probably do with  
reviving discussion and more proposals and involvement from the  
writing community.

cheers
