I think the idea of a US focused Typo3 site is great, but please,  
please do not start re-implementing the already existing  
documentation sources. Typo3 is one of the few open source projects  
that almost has *too* much documentation, and this would not help.  
There is already a wiki at wiki.typo3.org, if you like you could make  
a US section on that. If anything the documentation needs a thorough  
consolidation and pruning of chapters and documents that are no  
longer relevant to modern typo3 sites.

I'm not saying the US Typo3 site should not have any documentation at  
all, for example, we definately need a pre-configured Typo3 package  
with US date, time, and monetary formats set as default, including  
tt_news, and that would need documentation to go with it, which would  
be perfectly suitable for a US Typo3 site.
