 happening on the pad about them.

 The pad is probably not suitable for discussions, lets use tor-dev@  or
 discuss directly here on the trac ticket (I'd prefer email over a
 website).

 Points I'd like mention here so people can say something if they disagree:

 * target audience of the guide: people that do not fear the command line
 and have some minimal Linux or BSD experience

 * target servers:
  * the guide should work for servers not exclusively used for Tor, so if
 someone has a webserver with lots of bw and wants to help, this guide
 should work for them
  * for exit relays this is a very different matter: In my opinion you
 should NOT run an exit relay on a shared server (although I'm aware that a
 big operator does) - this (exclusive servers for exits) will be clearly
 stated in the guide.
