Our console guide is pretty much mixed in with our normal docs.  We 
wouldn't have a separate guide I don't think.  There's really not much 
of an API to document and it is all config files, and admin UI.  What we 
need to do is add screen shots and stuff.

Federation stuff is already in  (last week).

Some UI changes that might come in:

* Scope pages for application/oauth client will have option to allow any 
role.
* I'm thinking of combining oauth client and application together.  need 
to get feedback from Stian and Marek though before I do this.

Other than that, there will only be minor cosmetic changes.
