Well, not so far, apparently... ;)
So I might step up - if there's someone better I'll be glad to move on. 
I've never dealt
with DocBook, but I guess I'll have to. I *have* done documentation and 
training.
I'd first attack a FAQ, since it would (I assume) plug the leakiest holes. 
My idea is
to scour the mailing list, come up with the FAQ list, then provide answers 
and keep
them updated as they (might) change.
After that UG and AG.

BTW, I fully agree with Your approach to AMG.COM issue.
