Yeah, I think we should do it. Just not sure if this is a TECH
TOPIC or a CORE one ;) Documentation will sooner or later touch
all subsystems.  So, I guess we should at least highlight some
things to the core group (Or at least do a lightning talk there).

Yet, a TECH topic would be interesting for us to discuss some
details about that.
