[PD] agenda for upcoming book sprint?[GEM sprint]

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I think we definitely should document PDP/PiDIP and Gridflow as well.   
Do you want to participate and help out?  If there aren't any PDP or  
Gridflow people joining in, then I think it makes the most sense to  
focus on Gem since it is the most widespread.
