Scratchbox documentation roadmap

Roadmap for the future documentation of the Scratchbox Apophis (current stable) branch. Material from the earlier Scratchbox versions will be reviewed and updated accordingly. Additional material will be created to to compensate for the insufficiencies of the current documentation. All the material will be wikified, so that the complete documentation will be available in the scratchbox.org wiki.
