Afaik we agreed on continuing using svn until further notice. It is
not a good idea to all of a sudden stay in baz with your guide thus
locking the rest of the team out of the quick-guide. Please, just put
the quick-guide updates with the rest of the quick-guide in svn and
play with the rest of the team.

As enrico wrote, we will move to baz *in due time*. Most of the doc
people are not (yet) into baz and switching will not improve anything
atm.

On another note, I have been working on Chua's guide, moving it to
docbook. I think this would be a great addition to our docs. I will
continue working on this until we have all our docs in one place.

Please comment on fq2 (the tempral workname of the new doc), do you
guys think this a good idea?
