By way of example: I had a question on #fedora-devel today about where to find python packaging examples now I knew where to look because I had spent time searching the web previously. If we had a 'consolidated' guide on where to find things such as packaging docs -> python then even if it is owned by the packaging people it would be easy to find. In the two diagrams what do you mean by formal and informal? I agree with the overall concept but I don't see how we can achieve this. I had a concern that we were moving away from end user docs rather we are broadening our horizons.
