Documentation Guide hacking
1 Work out the future of this guide
 * Do we need a stand alone, XML-based document for this?
 * Yes, we need a self-referential guide that teaches how to write itself

Tasks

1 Add self-referential materials to example-tutorial 2 Pull content from the documentation-guide until it has only:
 * Common content across this and the documentation-guide
 * Two files: document-template.xml and example-tutorial.xml
 * document-template.xml -- simple document to paste content into and proceed
 * example-tutorial.xml -- similar content plus more, with many explanatory comment blocks
 * documentation-guide pulls in example-tutorial.xml as a section
 * Self-referential XML teaching materials
 * How-to use editors (Emacs, Vi)
 * Links to style guide and process docs on the Wiki
 * Links to CVS, how to get involved, etc. on the Wiki
 * ?enough?
