Documentation/HOWTO is a terse collection of useful tips. It's a great reference for people who have an idea of what they are doing and need to come quickly up to speed.
This document is intended to be a much more comprehensive introduction accessible to new developers and managers. It is, I hope, something we will be able to hand to companies which are trying to figure out how to join in. I don't expect it to replace Documentation/HOWTO, but I do hope it will be more useful for a lot of the folks who most need this kind of information.
Thanks,
jon
