Cool, Corey wrote to me offlist approving of this idea too so I think
most people are agreed on the idea. Just to clarify my idea:

* We'd publish the two guides alongside one another and they would have
NO overlaps in content. Everything server-relating would move to the
server one.
* We can publish the server guide additionally in html as well as xml if
this would help people who don't have graphics.

I've started by moving the faqguide into the gnome directory (a full
reorganisation of the archive can wait until we have discussed it
properly at a meeting) and I've made a copy of the faqguide and called
it "serverguide". We can now work on eliminating overlaps and improving
each document. I'll look at doing a spec for the serverguide in time for
a meeting next week.
