The argument is built from a mistaken angle. "Thinking of doing some 
work on docs in the future, let's create a group for docs!"

Things should happen organically, i.e. creating a specialized group 
should follow a need substantiated by increased volume of specialized 
discussion in the general group. At this point there is nothing in that 
vein.
