I have requested access to the gitlab repo. Once allowed, I'll drop a Scribus document in there with a cover, and the master pages with some initial styling for the document. I'll also do a README file with an initial layout/contents proposal based on some of the ideas here.
To my mind, the most useful thing would be getting an inkscape quick-start guide going as the preface. This way users can start making use of the document right away.
We may also want to publish each section of the book as a pdf as we go along, so users don't have to clone our repos just to get the information. :)
Contributors should also be aware that it's not okay to copy/paste content from blogs, tutorials, etc. For this document, everything must be re-written from scratch, and all screen captures, graphics etc. must be of our own making and cc0 (public domain). Anyone not interested in contributing 100% public domain content, should not contribute to this project.

Great :)
I think, in this context, it makes sense to also link to the thread on the translators mailing list, where many of us have already been discussing the issue, and started to investigate options.
https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/inkscape-translator/thread/CAPOH7...
Victor (who initiated the thread) has already written about his findings about Sphinx there, and he also linked to a list on github, where different documentation systems are listed (sorry, your latest email is still on my todo list, Victor).
Elisa has mentioned the Booktype instance of flossmanualsfr, as far as I remember.

Would it make sense to use gitlab's new subgroups feature for this?
The inkscape-docs team could be a sub-team of Inkscape, that way. There are only 4 members as of now, so changing wouldn't be so difficult as it might be later on.
Agreed.
I've moved everything around and re-added the members to the group.
