Don't get it wrong here, I merely point out that your initiative is warmly welcome, but why not direct your forces to a more productive game/project/etc ?
Add some actual content to the site and make it interesting, maybe you can also prove me wrong :)

It's a good idea and a nice initiative; however, when do people actually figure out that GG is paying Mike Perry to write up a fresh documentation? Why split this thing into so many parts and websites, it doesn't help anyone, au contraire.

Don't get me wrong here, no harm intended. Why not use the time to add some stuff there first and kick the blog after. The reception perspective may change radically. I myself have a few things on my website but I rather call those an attachment to the original documentation. Let's make it easy for the new guys coming to torque.

When someone steps out of the chaos to say "I'm going to help the community", my eyes light up because that's how I landed my job =)
I don't know about clinical ADD/ADHD, but I definitely suffer from chronic lack of prolonged attention with development projects. I can completely relate to your statement. If you end up producing a single HTML page that is helpful to another Torque developer, then you have not wasted anything.
Apparatus has a point: GG hired someone to produce documentation, at no cost the community. While my game developer direction is lacking, my focus on documentation is an irresistible force with no immovable object in my path. My work doesn't stop there, as I help David with community management and provide QA where I can.
That does not mean others can't pursue their own methods of helping the community. That's awesome, especially if there is success. I think the point Apparatus is making, and I fully stand behind, is that there is a constant you can depend on: I'm going to be at GarageGames for a long time, aiding in documentation and community efforts.
Granted, the purpose of Torque|Source does not relate to my main job. However, keep in mind that the closer you are to GG the more traffic and success will be pushed your way.
Keep us (me) updated on your progress with your projects (both game and Torque|Source).
Buena suerte.

@Dan - Till the day I delete my account (i.e. never), no matter what my current job may be, I will always consider myself a GG community member. That's why I take .plans like this very seriously.When someone steps out of the chaos to say "I'm going to help the community", my eyes light up because that's how I landed my job =)
