Do read the handbook (again), identify which spots need improvement
or extension, modify these or write a better version and feed back
your diffs to the -doc mailing list.  You don't necessarily have to
deliver a ready to print layout, the -doc people would happily help
you with the markup should you deliver fine content.

But improving the project's documentation is definitely better than
splitting resources by burying an(other) article on a special topic
in a private page which is not linked from the official site.  Join
your forces and build on top what the project already has.  Thus
more users will benefit from the work done and the time spent.
