The Fedora team is working on moving away from docbook and xml to asciidoc. This is a more straightforward approach in the file, with a reasonably easy syntax to learn. This will let us keep docs in git so that users who find something and want to fix it can simply submit a pull request or patch to update and someone responsible can approve or deny it. In the future, it means that non-wiki docs should be easily consumable and editable. That doesn't help us for the current state of documentation, but it does help to resolve things for the future. I'm still working on the state of the existing docs via a few contacts I made at the docs day.
