The "User Manual" is maintained in the monotone repo, and can be
checked out and edited.

http://amethyst.openembedded.net/oe/viewmtn/viewmtn.py/branch/changes/org.openembedded.documentation

Patches welcome.

The rest of the documentation is in a Drupal wiki, and can be edited.
You may need a user account.

Try the angstrom distro first, as I don't think generic is currently
maintained.  Sigh -- the OeFaq page has been spammed :-(

This older page will tell you how to set Angstrom to uclibc until I
figure out how to restore the correct page.
