Most of the activity has been around things other than docs, but you do
bring up a good point. We *need* to address this.

With the 6.x documentation, there was a licensing change that
complicates things for us. Changes to the documentation mean that you
can't redistribute. Oracle appears to work around this by shipping the
official pdf documentation.

The web pages for the docs are also done slightly differently, and
mirroring them would require editing the html. We're not certain if this
constitutes a 'change' or not and have been focusing on other things
(SIG, dojo efforts).

This would be fantastic, and I would very much welcome your efforts.
