Debian Reference

[Antony Gelberg <antony@antgel.co.uk>]

I have been taking a lot of interest in the Reference recently, as a 
result of time on d-u and #debian, and seeing where we fall short from a 
documentation point of view.

Before I get too involved however, can somebody give me a guide as to 
how the Reference is looked upon from within Debian?  I don't 
particuarly want to dive in if it's a dead duck.  It seems to me that it 
is the closest thing that we have to a distro manual, and contains lots 
of useful pointers, but suffers from lack of visibility and lack of 
structure.
