Your project seems quite incompletely described on your website.
Please describe:

* How do you decide which sw releases to document? (There are 100s if
not 1000s of open source releases!)
* How do you decide the topics to present in a given document? What
general principles are used in doing so?
* What triggers major/minor updates to an existing document?
* Are you intentionally trying to avoid duplicating the work of other
authors and organizations?
* Do you take care to use the same kinds of topics for similar sw products?
* How do you assess the quality of the contents of the documents?
