Not sure on a timespan.  I think I could do most if it in one month if I
did nothing else.  My wife seems supportive of the idea.

Not sure how to merge current documentation into it.  I would like to
point them to URL locations as much as possible.  I thought if I give
them enough to get started, and to understand how the current docs fit
together, that would be good.
