Not sure what your plans are for distributing this, but might I
suggest putting it on the OpenCog.org wiki? I think the large number
of concepts and terms that people will have to learn naturally lends
itself to a wiki environment. e.g. "I don't know, or I've forgotten
what that concept was about" *click the wiki word* "ahh, I remember
now." <- this was a somewhat frequent occurrence for me while reading
docs.

Although I'm not sure what your preference for writing is (what
editor, writing in a linear or outlining manner), so perhaps it would
be easier to take a complete document and then wikify it, or let the
community do so. Only problem then is that then the writing doesn't
always take advantage of the benefits a wiki structure can provide.

But perhaps it's just me that likes reading things in a non-linear manner ;)
