I'm not sure how your patch system works. I could checkout the documentation 
branch and edit it but should I do a diff and submit it? Or would it be best 
to edit the wiki?

Would it be better to stick to one distro for the documentation? I think that 
would be best. Having said that, would Angstrom be the best place to start? 
I was looking for a simple distro to start with and I thought Angstrom might 
be a bit bulky. I'll use which ever the suggested one it.
