More accurately, it was prompted by your asking for input in one of the
comment logs.  I realized that, as I said, you were facing a common
dilemma, and an open, common discussion would work best.

The rest of this, then is, more about the Revisor/Spin Recipes
documentation, Subject: adjusted accordingly.

So, we have both types that need filling -- Revisor needs some default
what-is documentation, and Fedora Docs thinks there should be a
how-to/recipe-type document.

Or am I presuming the latter?

Sure.  I think we need to specify the two different documents as
separate Docs/Draft/ namespaces.  There are already existing content
bits we may be able to pull together for recipe-type content.  The
consequent creation of a what-is/descriptive document complements
nicely.

From the perspective that you have the specific goal of mainly providing
a what-is viewpoint of Revisor, I found the tone and content
informative.  I'll have to go through it again with just that in mind,
and maybe the only direct question I could have had for you was, "Is
this what-is, how-to, or strictly recipes?"
