Yes, that sounds fine.

That sounds excellent. You are hereby deputized. :-)

The nice thing about TeXinfo is the ability to generate lots of
different formats from it, including books that the FSF sometimes
sells. I would therefore like to keep the users guide in TeXinfo,
unless we hear otherwise from the FSF. However, I think basic
installation information is best presented via HTML, and since that's
what people seem to be most comfortable with, let's go with it.
