No, an outline is indeed lacking here. Here is my overview of current workings:

Right now, I am trying to make time for finally finishing the DTML Tag 
Reference.

Martijn Faassen does the FAQ collecting.

Rik Hoekstra has written a TODO for the CoolFaq.

Pavlos Christoforou has written an XML based FAQ tool, which is poised to 
be the basis of a CoolFaq product.

As Martijn Faassen said:  The first goal is to get a simple FAQ going. 
Other things will come later.

I think it is time however to make an inventory of what we want to achieve. 
At a glance, we will certainly need a bunch of reference documents, which 
then can be the basis for tutorials and HOWTO's.

Areas to focus on:
- DTML Tags
- Objects accessible from DTML.
- Products
- Internals (interfaces)
etc.
