[Original post...]

We need documentation for how to upgrade from d7 to d8 similar to this: http://drupal.org/documentation/upgrade/6/7
However, I did a quick scan through that section and it seemed like much of the content isn't really all that specific to d6/d7 (other than the fact those versions are mentioned in passing)

So before we charge ahead and duplicate all that content into a new section and change "Drupal 6" to "Drupal 7" etc, we should see if we can just rewrite the existing content to make it more generic, perhaps adding an extra page or two for version-specific information. I'm not sure if this is reasonable, but it's always a good idea to avoid forking content wherever practical.
