If you changed the licence to be DFSG compliant, I would be happy
to contribute. Then again, if you did that, perhaps NewbieDoc's
wiki could be merged to Debian's.
GFDL is considered DFSG compliant as long as the document doesn't
have unmodifiable parts:
http://www.debian.org/News/2006/20060316
This is, in fact, the version of the GFDL used by the NewbieDOC
project since 2001.
It is easy enough specifically to dual-licence an article (GFDL +
GPL). Doing this has made it possible for some of the NewbieDOC
content to be included in the Debian Reference (which requires GPL).
It would be very difficult to re-licence all the work in either
NewbieDOC or Debian Reference - tracing all the contributors (past
and present) and obtaining permission would be very difficult.
How can I dual-licence my 'note' (if necessary), the one about
masquerading?
