Hi Andreas! Personally I really like the idea, i used Arch Linux for several years and i always liked way the Arch Wiki was always updated and containing a lot of useful data, that (i know) it's always available in the manual pages with a lot of more useful data, but i think it's useful to have like a brief description and usage of the system and tools that one can then complement with the manual pages if needed.
I writed a lot of small text files that i use for different tasks, from video conversion and edition with ffmpeg, to system administration of different operating systems, including OpenBSD that is the system Im using in my personal computer for the last couple of months and that I really love. If you want i can share with you the text files relevant to the installation and usage of OpenBSD that i had for personal use for you to see if something in them is suitable for your endeavour, they cover installation and updating processes, mainly for the stable branch that I installed and maintain in my computer, even the installation in an full encrypted disk, and basic setup of the environment and tools usage.
