We can rename the cookbook to make it fit ;)

It was a placeholder name, because we all agreed for some time that a
=E2=80=9Cdocument=E2=80=9D like that would be useful and that it shouldn=E2=
=80=99t be a wiki.
Beyond that we really didn=E2=80=99t have any plans.  I went ahead and
started it to enable collaboration on this resource =E2=80=94 whatever it m=
ay
become eventually.
