I'd like to see book editors have the ability to add images.  We know  
that Drupal documentation is only partially effective because  
sections like, http://drupal.org/handbook/modules, require abstract  
understandings of modules that could be greatly facilitated by images  
of those modules in action.

We should also ensure they can link or embed videos where  
appropriate.  For example, the Lullabot videos and some of the other  
training video's would be valuable to embed in the handbook if they  
were copied over to Drupal.org.
