I think it is still necessary to have a nice guideline on where certain
documentation is stored. Paul's proposal on having user documentation in
doc/, while developer documentation can be elsewhere (divided amongst the
related projects) is a nice idea which I can support.

The CVS ACLs can then be used to finetune permissions (which I also
encourage, both for security reasons as for managerial reasons). 

By having all user documentation in doc/, translations are easily integrated.
Development-related documentation doesn't really need translations (my
opinion) and is therefor "safe" to reside in the project-specific structures.

Wkr,
