Looks good! I cannot see any copyright though. You might consider the
GNU Free Documentation Licence. Just add this to the top of your doc:

You might also consider posting your docs on the Newbiedoc website
(http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/)
If you join the Newbiedoc list you will find the people very friendly,
and they will guide you through the process.

I will cc this message to the Newbiedoc list.
