I've started a document on Writely.

People can post comments and suggestions to this list; I'll update the 
Writely doc.  Anyone interested in editing that doc, please send me your 
e-mail address and I'll add you as a collaborator.

The public URL for the doc is:

http://www.writely.com/View.aspx?docid=ajjwr9dccrhx_08qfbqt

for those who just want to see what's there.

A nicer version will then make it's way to ruby-doc.org when the main 
guidelines are covered.
