Silence

What happened to the Apache Documentation Project?
Two months have passed since the last message on the doc list.
Does it means that nobody is currently working on it?

Regards
Stefano

Pretty much.

Docs are one of those things that needs an individual to provide focus and
direction and provide a way for people to step up and say "ok, I can write
these ten paragraphs dealing with this".  

Browsing through the archives (http://dev.apache.org/mail/ , and look at
docs.*) would be a useful exercise to see the start of previous frameworks
and how they didn't go anywhere.  

What I would suggest is working from an outline.  Someone needs to take
the time to build a solid (not necessarily comprehensive, no need to start
too big) outline then try to convince people to contribute sections.
