In principle, no, though without having read it yet I'm not sure it
makes sense to have both this _and_ etc/CONTRIBUTE (which is already on
the website). I imagine you just upload it and change the CONTRIBUTE link
to point to it.
(Also note that Xue Fuqiao has commit rights.)

Normally we use Texinfo. This will give HTML that matches the format of
the other pages. Normally the source would live somewhere in the normal
Emacs repo, and the HTML in the CVS repo. HTML only is fine for web-only
documents.


PS "incredible adventure"? Bah humbug.
