Heh. Just make both asdf-installable, and the "what to include in a distro" becomes a moot point. ;)

Is this a diff approach than CVS, or supplemental?

Hm? Supplemental (and a weak attempt at humor on my part) I guess. Asdf-install is a distribution tool, that automatically handles dependencies, etc. It rocks the same way Debian's apt-get rocks -- though creating asdf-installable packages is a lot easier than making .debs. CVS is a revision control tool. For semi-decent docs look at http://www.cvshome.org/ , but note that if you would prefer Subversion, Arch, or any of the umpteen available other RC systems, send mail to clo-devel, and we'll see about it. Ob licenses: splendid!

Sounds good. Do you have any idea what content you want? What about format? HTML?

I think some more presentation-neutral markup would be best, so LaTeX springs to mind. OTOH, I think that even a tarball with a plain-text file for text, and images and whatnot for rest is quite ok as well: as long as the article is clearly structured in the text file we can then cram it into a structured format, and render that into html, dvi, ps and pdf.
