Each section should retain the original author's name, and be
copyright them.  They wrote them, they get credit.  The ones without
authors were probably written by me.

IMHO the fact that they sent them to me implies a license to
distribute, since there would be no point in contributing them without
such a license.

The division among the three documents, in my mind should be like this:

UG - assume nothing you haven't already covered in previous sections,
act like a tutorial, gloss over "why" in favor of "how".  Very
procedural.

KB - Cover the "why" here, with all the gory details.  No need for
continuity, but each topic should be complete.  Good place to stash
the odd useful email or two.

FAQ - Shortcuts to things that are often asked, even if they're
already documented.

- Raw text -
