I think those are legitimate points, and I certainly am not trying to 
criticise the way you went about it.

However, perhaps Plone.org and the docs section has grown since then and 
is now ready for you?

In particular, I'm thinking about the work JoAnna started at:

http://plone.org/documentation/manual/end-user-manual

I think this would benefit hugely from being fleshed out with more 
textual content, inline screencasts (you can upload files into a ref 
manual) and whatever else. It's something we can structure into 
arbitrary sections and pages, and it'd be a single resource. If we then 
can also get some semi-regular commitment to *update it* as new Plone 
versions come out, then suddenly we have something that's rather 
impressive in the documentation arena.

Maybe one of your team would like to liaise with JoAnna and the rest of 
the plone-docs list and identify what's movable and doable? I'm not 
saying it's the only way forward, but it seems an obvious one to me 
(granted, I haven't read that much of the learnplone materials so I may 
be missing some subtleties).
