Hi Adam
I am new to the docs project. I am trying to understand your message. Are you saying that there will be a new tool, Antora (I did visit the website) and it is a way to provide a document management facility.
Related topic.
============
About 6 weeks ago, I pasted 3 Fedora docs into LibreOffice. My intent was to mark them up, for grammar and sentence construction, using standard industry markup tools.
I used LibreOffice, and want to backport the LO corrections to asciidoc. My markup corrections are in Canadian English with US spelling, given Fedora's roots.
My 80 hours of efforts are waiting for a "proof reader" partner who would do a accept/reject of each markup, using the easy to use LibreOffice tools. From there I would backport the corrected text. The backport, I understand would be a PR, or another type of asciidoc submission.
Of importance, I have a marked up 3 guides: admin guide, release guide, and install guide.
My markups, if accepted in their entirety would be a "better read" and should offer better comprehension than the existing docs I cloned from the Fedora Docs website.
So far I have not been able to clone the existing asciidoc files. Is this what Antora is about, allowing one submit new docs and/or to clone and submit corrections?
Do you need help to test. I am available almost 30hrs/week, (I am retired after 55 years in IT, As a retirement activity I develop Linux software in C/C++ or other fanciful languages. I also do blog write)

As many of you have probably noticed, together with bex and few other people I work on moving the Fedora Docs to Antora. It has many technical benefits as well as an active community. Talking about community, I want to make sure that when the time comes and we're ready to push this thing to production, our contributors are on board.
So I've just created a new epic: People! [1]
"The main reason we go through all this trouble is people. We want to make it simple for people to contribute to the docs. And might not be a bad idea to make sure our contributors are on board when we go crazy and push this thing to production."
I'm looking for any useful input about making sure our contributors are on board. I want this to be as smooth as possible.
My thinking is:
* Announce it here on this very list.
* Contact in advance every group having their docs on the site and:
** making sure we have converted their asciibinder source into the Antora source right
** making sure they know how to make changes
* Do this over a few days, switching the Antora branches in all repositories the site is built from to be the main branches. During these few days, the current asciibinder site wouldn't update. All updates from this period would end up on the new site. Basically, doing a few-days-log freeze.
How does that sound? Anything I've missed?
Thanks!
Adam
