Great!  At last an engineer willing to do documentation without a gun held to 
their head ;-)

Seriously though, we are in the process of converting all our documentation 
from a proprietary format to docbook and will be opening the documentation 
sources via anoncvs. Already RedBoot documentation has made the converstion so 
should be released sometime soon.

As for the remaining docs, if anyone does have documentation for eCos they 
would like to contribute, they can send it to us in plain text format for 
inclusion in the proprieatary format (and hence into the PDFs and HTML 
currently generated), and later into DocBook. I will need to get back to you on 
image format.
