must have one, or have
enough material to make one trivial to pull together?

I have one very small example. At a wiki meetup last

chair of a small local charity. They have an archive of interesting local
material that the chair would like to consider scanning and releasing as PD
or under a free licence. I was asked "do you have a short, simple,
non-technical document I can give to my fellow trustees to explain why we
ought to be doing this?" Although there is a lot of material out there
that explains open knowledge and open licences in great detail it turns out
that we don't actually have anything short and simple we can hand out or
point members of the public to. And as a national charity that aspires to
lead in this area we really ought to have something that concisely answers
the question "why should I release my content?"

would like to provide better materials aimed at the general public
which explain
the benefits of open knowledge.
What is the objective here?
Its now been 2
full working days. Am I to take it that there is no
objective?

At the risk of sounding negative, I also don't think this seems like a
very productive thing for the charity to spend time on. Lots of materials
already exist that explain the benefits of open knowledge - and without a
clear audience or channel in mind, creating more media seems a bit
pointless.
