You are a skilled writer; you've got some home turf advantage though. Combined with your color knowledge you are be much more well suited to clarify what the babl format strings we keep using in GIMP mean, as well as how it fits into our overall scheme of things in current and future GIMP. What you do not understand; we might not quite understand ourselves yet either. The babl README/website, our lowest level of developer documentation relevant to this hasn't seen much improvement during the last half decade or so. This is generated from some static html in the docs directory of the source code in git. One could almost start with a link to your current write-up. I see no problem in the content our alternate versions of the content being used different places. I haven't considered the license of the documentation of babl/gegl separately from the project code itself before. But do not see a problem with including self-contained bits/chapters under a create-commons license; or some other compatible license on their websites.
