Currently, f13/f14 have 4.6 and rawhide has 4.8, so there will be differences. It would be good to keep them seperate and work on them each.

Perhaps if we make a list on the wiki of all the topics we want to cover in the guide, a kind of outline of the document structure, then people can just fill in the sections as they go along?
