Same here: I do see value on having docs focused on their audience.

Yet, I'm not so sure how worth is to break some subsystem documentation 
into books, as, on some cases, this would mean huge efforts.

I'd prefer to see the big picture first, finishing the conversion and
then looking at the resulting docs.

Meanwhile, if someone needs something that it is at the wrong book, he
can just use some search tool to seek what he needs, no matter on
what book the relevant information is stored.

Yeah, that's a good question. 

Jon is planning todo a documentation track at LPC. One of the things
that should be discussed, IMO, is how we'll organize the books.

I suspect that, once we finish the conversion of the remaining ~300
files to ReST, the next logical step is to check what are the gaps
and have a list of pending tasks.

Thanks,
Mauro
