Creating documentation

[Marc Kaplan]

I happen to like this idea.  In fact, I would also like to see the
reverse as well.  I'd also like to see text based submissions for the
wiki for those people who don't have the time to learn wiki code or
learn our structure.  I for one would be more than willing to be one
of the participants to help convert from text-to-wiki.

As I mentioned maybe 2-3 weeks ago, I was working on the OpenSSH
Server docs and would love to get some help with converting them to
the DocBook format.  That has kinda put me on hold a bit.  In fact, I
would love someone who knows a lot about OpenSSH to maybe look over
what I did to see if either I missed something, or if something could
be made simpler.
