They are not linked.

NewbieDOC started out as a Sourceforge project for Debian newbie 
documentation in 2001. It had an email list and a series of Docbook 
style articles (which are still available in the Debian "newbiedoc" 
package). The project declined and became virtually unmaintained. It was 
moved to Berlios a year ago as a wiki using Mediawiki software after 
Sourceforge upgraded PHP and made the original unmaintained website 
unworkable. (There are technical problems running wikis on Sourceforge, 
hence the move to Berlios.)  The original project files remain at 
Sourceforge as per their terms and conditions. They can be accessed from 
the NewbieDOC wiki or by using their original Sourceforge URLs. The 
Sourceforge newbiedoc list is closed.

Anyone interested in contributing to or developing the NewbieDOC project 
would be very welcome.
