I don't think you need to do that. You can ask for NG here. If you get 
enough supports (not me) ;-) you'll get the NG that you want.

That is the point. Nobody can solve the problem on their own. But 
somebody has to start, other will follow.

I agree if you want to take the hard road by working with SXW, go ahead. 
There is a documentation about how to write for typo3.org by Kasper 
somewhere with all the regulations you'll need.

I encourage you to work with the Wiki because then you'll have support 
immediatly or at least faster than with SXW (just because it's to 
complicated to work in a team that way).
