I gave him a brief overview of the intent behind anerist yesterday on IRC, actually, and we discussed some of the problems I'd like it to solve.  Hopefully you are intrigued, Ryan, the concept would really benefit from some design love :)

Yeah, we chatted about this yesterday, but i didnt see the repo itself.

Is there any docs / discussion / ideas on about how this will look at on the front end to the user?

Not just the UI itself, but what docs we want to publish here (full books, articles, how-tos etc)? Having an idea of the best docs for our users would definitely impact the design of how we show them to the user.

We definitely want to publish the full books we already have.  We also want to have targeted tutorials and smaller feature-based articles.  I'm expecting that these latter two will be popular contributions and feel we should plan for a large volume of them.

I was envisioning that these larger works would be featured higher up in the category structure (and I'm reviving that thread after sending this message) to keep them from getting mixed in with more atomic content.  A site organized by topic seems most easily browsed, ie "Networking->Routing" vs "Tutorials-> Routing" and "Articles-> Routers".  Don't let that unduly influence your design vision, it's only an initial idea.
